Well if you have it installed then just try to open it and if you cant then you would have to buy the disk

i'm sorry that's not possible. you cant hover the installer program on to a hard disk but not a previously installed program.

If I heard any "grinding" whatsoever, I'd check everything to be sure nothing fell off/broke etc. == ==

Yes, the motherboard does determine what hard drive can be installed. A computer is made for the hard drive to be compatible with whatever mother board is installed.
BE AWARE of what you just asked, format means to erase EVERYTHING on the drive/partition. There are at least 4 methods that I know of that can erase Windows 7 off of your hard drive. * Open start menu, type CMD, and hit enter, type in FORMAT C:\ and hit enter. (C can be another drive letter, the one that has Windows 7 installed on it.) * Install another operating system over it, as most OS installs have the ability to format a partition. * Delete the partition that has Windows 7 installed on it using Disk Management (google it). * If you hook the HD that has 7 installed on it to another Windows computer, you can open (My on XP) Computer, right click the drive that has 7 installed on it, and click format.
If you can, open up your computer and take the hard drive out. I would then take it to a computer store and have them transfer the data (If possible) to another hard drive.
The drive that the OS is installed on
Boot Camp is the name for the setup assistant that allows Windows to be installed on a partition on an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Windows must be installed on the startup volume. There is no current way to have it install on another drive.
Usually Windows is installed on the C:/ drive of your compuer. Press WINLOGO+E to see your hard drives
