Hello,
I have two partitions; a smaller one, C: , listed as "primary partition" and a "logical drive", D.
Windows XP is installed on C.
I plan to install Win7 on D and preserve all the data on it.
Could I split drive D, with Partition Wizard, making a new 3rd partition and then install Windows 7 on it? Since drive D is "logical" I assume this newly created partition will also be; do I need to convert it to primary and only then install Win7 on it?
If I allocate 130 GB to this new partition for Win7, for instance, will that be all the space that I'll be able to use (games etc.) when operating in Windows 7?
Thanks.
