Hello,

I have a 2TB EARS WD HD, that currently is filled with stuff I`ve gathered under XP. I used the WD Alignment Tool successfully, and it has rund with no hassle so far. BUT, I`m planning to do a clean Windows 7-install now. I will disconnet this drive, and not connect it back until the install is complete. Will I have to reformat or "realign" under 7, or just hook it up?
