Solve : Clean install?

1.	Solve : Clean install?
Answer» Hi All, I'm due to receive my new copy of Win 7 any day now. I have 2 HDDs both 250gb C & E. I backup to E drive. WOULD you ADVISE physically disconnecting drive E before installing 7? The reason I ask is I had to re-install Vista RECENTLY & during the process it appeared to format E at the same time thus I lost all my files. I did specify to install on C at the time. Is it possible to format drive C before install so it is on a 'clean' HDD? Thank you in anticipation of you advice. Alexma"IT" didn't format e: drive, you did. The install process (for any OS) will only do what you tell it to - and before it will format any drive or partition you have to "OK" it several times. Just boot to the Windows 7 DVD and START the install procedure. It will ask where you want it installed and will ask if you first want to format that drive / partition. Just pay attention during the process and you'll be fine.
