hello there, I'm using two different harddisks on my pc, on the C drive i have my vista installed and on the second one there's nothing installed but music and some films (I'm using it as a storage I mean). both of'em are internal. so if you come to my question, I downloaded the beta version of windows 7 and I want to install it on the storage hdd. but if I do it, does it automatically delete my files? I'm not doin it as "cd started boot style". I'm about to install it while vista opened, like installing a game. thanks

I would guess that the best thing to install Windows 7 is to do it from scratch and not trying to update your existing Vista with this. (I'm no expert in this)

Here's a guide which might give you something on this matter.

YouTube also have some videos which might be helpful also, maybe? You'll find them here.

I have no current user experience on Windows 7 myself, b.t.w.
