Creating a partition
Hello all. I am about to upgrade to Win 7 Pro 64bit Upgrade. Currently my Vista Home Premium 64bit OEM is installed on Drive C, along with everything else. Programs, data, ect. I have no partitions.
I plan on doing a clean install of Win 7 - I will format Drive C and start from scratch. However, is it possible for me to create a partition right now within Vista? I have 300GB of spare space, and if this is possible I can place my data on this new partition. If possible, my partition will be called Drive D.
Can I then install Win 7 Pro, format Drive/Partition C but retain Partition D with my data on it? This would save me a lot of time if I can just wipe Vista/programs, install Windows 7 and already have my data on my hard drive in partition D.
Thanks in advance.
