So I once had Win7 on my PC, but the some troubles occurred and I wipe the Win7 partition, also delete the 100MB system reserved partition. Now there's 3 partition in my 1TB drive: 100GB (merged from the Win7 & the 100MB system partition), and 400GB & 470GB data.
Now I'm using XP from the old installation in another disk (80GB disk), but still interested in using Win7. However, when I tried to install Win7 back on the 1TB disk, the installer DVD shows my 400GB partition as System. So after successfully installing Win7 on the 100GB partition, I cannot see the 400GB partition in Windows Explorer since it is regarded as System Reserved Partition.
I think I can just backup the data from the 400GB using XP and then shrink the partition down to 100MB, then create another partition using the 399.9GB for data, but I wonder if there's a more simple way to do this without touching the 400GB partition (if possible).
Btw, here's a snap of bluescreen error from my first Win7 installation. Perhaps someone here can tell me what it means.
Thanks.
