Hi,
I am racking my brain like crazy trying to figure this out to no avail. So i ask you all if someone can assist.
I have 2 versions of windows 7 on a dual boot partition. 640gb hdd B: 60gb C: 100gb and D:440gb. One is 32bit(currently using) and the other is the beta version of w7 64bit. When the trial ran out i clean installed a RTM version of 32 on a seperate partition. At the time i thought i only needed 32 now i wish to fully utilize my RAM/GPU RAM and want to do a clean install of 64 over the old beta version. Heres where my problems start.
I don't know which Drive letter(partition) i have installed either version onto. Basically i don't know which drive to clean install on top of. I don't want to accidentally wipe my 32 and everything i have set up on there. Because i wish to gradually switch back and forth to "copy" what i have running in the 32 into the 64 by reinstalling its 64bit counter parts. Also i know that one of these is my boot drive.. right ? meaning it has to always be present i cant erase that one and have the other still boot.. i heard once haha. Maybe someone could set that strait. As i eventually only want one version of win7 64 on my computer. I would like to know that as well.
So. Can i find out what version of windows is installed where ? And Which is my primary boot drive for which the other relies on ? Also can i remodel the partition sizes upon reinstalation ?
