Due to a unrelated problem (I made a different thread about it but no solution) I finally decided to just do a clean installation and start off fresh. However my concern is to my second internal hard drive which carries all my movies, games, documents, etc..... (nothing system related).
So here are my questions:
1. Can i just unplug my second hard drive and plug it back in after the installation? And will it continue to work? Keep in mind i only want to reformat my 1st hard drive which contain all the system files.
2. My current os is windows 7 ultimate but I no longer have the cd or the product code, however I do have a disc and product code for window 7 home I bought for my second computer but I'll use it on this computer if i have to. I know my current os is register to my mobo, but if I do a clean installation shouldn't that get rid of that so i can just reinstall using my window 7 home cd and code?
3. Can i use my windows 7 home cd to do the clean installation?
4. Will my second hard drive still work regardless of which os?
Sorry for the many questions but I just to be safe.
