Hi - my Dell came with a noisy 320GB hard drive which obviously became the primary HDD. Then i added a WD 640GB drive which obviously became slave.
320GB has 3 partitions, 640GB also has 3 partitions.
My Vista OS is in partition 1 in the 320GB. I would love to have a new beginning with windows 7 by installing it into partition 1 of the 640GB HD and also making the 640GB HD the primary active boot drive. question is, how and is it actually possible. I dont care if vista doesnt boot anymore, as long as i can make the 640Gb drive the main active boot drive to boot windows 7 and making the 320GB the slave drive.
Now i'm wondering if i swap the sata connections on the 2 drives, will the 640 become primary and 320 become slave? Is it much more complicated than just swapping the sata jacks? will the drives become corrupt?
Just to get an idea - planning ahead for October 22.
Thanks.
