| 1126964 | 2010-08-13 05:54:00 | Totally up to you if you want an additional drive. keep in mind that having two OS's will also take up a lot more room, and may restrict programs etc if the drive space is to small. I had Vista & W7, and after a short while didn't use vista at all, so I dumped it. Only difference was I had Vista and W7 on separate drives, so all I had to do was remove the drive and fix W7's boot loader. |

All software you want to use will have to be installed for each O/S. If you want all data to be available for both operating system then file locations can be a worry. |

More thinking,really is a pain,wonder why I started!? |

| 1126967 | 2010-08-13 06:09:00 | It's entirely up to you. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1126968 | 2010-08-13 07:25:00 | Personally, As long as all the data is backed up from Vista to another location, which it should be other wise it would have been wiped, I'd start again with a fresh install of W7 and totally remove Vista. Just to add some confusion (I'm nice like that :D )you could Download that partition program I mentioned before, boot from the CD, wipe both partitions and W7 will load in on its own. |

| 1126969 | 2010-08-14 07:23:00 | Thanks again for all your help. I have decided to get Robb 99 to put in the 500 gig H/D and do a clean install. Do we know how to back up Picasa? |

| 1126971 | 2010-08-14 07:27:00 | Don't backup Picasa. Just backup your photos and reinstall Picasa. Picasa will go find them again for you. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1126972 | 2010-08-14 08:00:00 | Don't backup Picasa. Just backup your photos and reinstall Picasa. Picasa will go find them again for you. What about pics found only in Picasa? |

| 1126973 | 2010-08-14 08:18:00 | Picasa does not contain the pics per se. It is a database of the pics that are on the PC. Right click a pic in Picasa and look at properties the picture location will be mentioned. |
