Hi,
i'm going to be upgrading my XP system to windows 7. There are two hard drives in the computer, if i transfer all data to the 2nd hard drive (my storage drive) will i be able to access all of the files after upgrading/formating first drive? Or would i have to fully backup everything from both drives before upgrade?
Thanks

You will be able to access all data on any of the drive if you dont format them, you will loose the data on the partition on which windows is installed! But if something goes wrong(maybe you format wrong drive) always have a backup!
