I have WD15EARS that I used the WDAlign software on to run WinXP 64 bit. I am ditching that OS and upgrading to Win 7, and it will be a clean/new install.
Do I need to 'remove' the WDAlign, or can I just re-format under Win 7 and regain the original alignment?
I have 2 separate partitions on it, the WinXP 64 on one, and storage on the other. I -can- move the storage to another drive if I need to reformat the whole drive, but is it possible to just reformat the XP partition? Would save a little time if no harm/foul..
Thanks in advance!
