Removing OS from 2nd partition but keeping files
Last response: in Storage
Right now I have a dual boot set up, both with Windows 7. On one partition I have a freshly installed Windows 7 and on the other is the older version of 7 with all my files. I was wondering if I could just delete all the Windows files from the second partition (the older version of Windows) and keep the files I want. Then I'd just use that partition as storage. Would I run into problems with this? Would my PC still think that the partition has an OS on it?
Thanks for any replies, reformatting isn't an option as I have no place to temporarily store all of my files.
