Have had a problem with my computer for a while, was looking for fixes, but before I got there the drive failed (according to DPS - code 4 - suggest replacement. I have a second HDD in there that I pulled from an older computer I had (1 TB with an unhappy win xp on it.) It will only boot into safe mode ( and technically not at all right this minute), but it passes DPS with flying colors. I am hoping that I can (BEST CASE) - partition it without losing the info- then install win 7 and use the win 7 to boot the puter with the win xp partition as storage. Or I could just do a clean install of 7 on it - I THINK I have everything I REALLY don't want to lose off of it. I have a copy of 7 enterprise ( This computer's os - bought computer off ebay) on a flash drive from this link. ftp://128.213.10.60/ISO/Microsoft/Op...d_u_677651.iso
So what I need to know is- will this flash work on a drive partition with no OS, & is it the full version & what I need to install 7 completely. If I do get 7 on the second partition will I be able to make it the boot drive. If I have to make it the sole drive ( get rid of the xp partition) will I be able to get it to be the boot drive.
There is probably more, but I'm sure that is plenty for now. Thanks for any suggestions etc. Lisa
