I have EasyBCD! Thought I might need for this...

I'm unable to physically unplug Maxtor - how do I 'remove?'  So I do this just during initial install?

Gonna need to get my ducks in a row for this!

I would have put my old MOBO and CPU in new case, but they couldn't take Win7.....

At least all my Data is backed up on an external drive! Plus, I have an external enclosure drive....

Another complete PC would cost around R4000

I'm planning to reinstall Win 7 - here's my plan:

Current Setup: 7 year old Maxtor 160GB partitioned ATA Drive with Win 7 installed
                     Brand New Seagate SATA 500GB partitioned and ready to go! (100GB for system - yes I know it's overkill but I've found Win 7 seem
                     to take up more space than XP) rest for Data
                     
Here's my plan: (After 18 months of using Win 7 it's become messy and slow and I now realise I need to do things differently and I neglected to make an Acronis bare bones Image after install)

I want to rebuild on new drive while continuing to be able to boot into current system until I've 'tweaked' new build to my satisfaction. As long as I wipe old system before the 30 day Activation is up, will I run into issues with licensing? 

I plan to use old drive for Open Source OS.

Any advice would be welcome!

Thanks

Forgot u need to right click  

But, PDF XChange Viewer does it on hover! (Pdf only) (Not sure about XP though)  

Windows 7 previews image and text files on hover in Explorer for me!

I use # - interesting to see what else works!

I also sometimes use the word All (i.e. All My e books) as A is always listed first...
