I almost won't argue that point in the least, mudmanc4, hence why I said I was testing this AV. Normally, or at least 50% of the time, I don't use an AV at all either, but when working on other people's computers and knowing how stupid some of them can be, you need to install anything and everything you can to help them!

You are correct in that it could assign the drives as anything under win7 it will not effect your xp in the slightest though and it doesn't matter a whole lot I would probably do it under Win7 just to make sure I don't erase or move a critical system partition Also once assigned you can always change drive letter assignment under win7 you shouldn't even need a reboot as they won't be system disks

Lordy I remember AOL dialup so, I'm happy with my Suddenlink 15 that usually gets around 25. :cheesy: Happy to finally make a post after a few years, just had other fish to fry. (that's an old East TEXAS Sayin.) Oh by the way CA3LE I quit looking for a test site after finding yours many moons ago.!!!!!

I was going to edit my prior post, but for some reason there is no EDIT buttion on it. I did some more web searching and found some information on drive letter assignment and it appears there is no consistant method in Windos when it assigns drive letters, so I just hope the results will be understandable when I install Win 7 on the new drive. I already created an image backup of my WinXP C: drive just in case something bad happens. Now I just need to wait another week or so till the new hardware and Win 7 OS are delivered. Will report back when its done. Thanks for replies

I think I understand what you are saying. Install the new HD with WinXP and it will be assigned as drive H: Question: Should I create the additional partitions I want with XP or Win 7 or does it not matter ? Install Win 7 on new HD, it will now be identified as drive C: when running Win 7. Old & new drive setup would be as follows when running either OS: Win XP Win 7 (new HD) C: C: D: D: (xp c) E: E: (xp d) F: F: (xp e) G: G: (xp f) H: (7) H: (7 g) I: (7) I: (7 h) Or, I am completly off base on I what I think the drive letter assignment will be ? Thanks again.
