I have two hard discs and I have Windows XP 32-bit and 64-bit processor. I found out that my processor supports 64-bit OS and I want to install Windows 7 64-bit.?
I also found out that I have to preform clean install to have 64-bit version of Windows 7 because I have 32-bit version of XP. Can I install it on one hard disc without loosing my data on another hard disc. Is this clean installation going to delete data from one hard disc where I want to install it or is it going to delete data from both hard disc including one I don't plan to install Windows on?
