Install windows 7 on ocz revodrive without loosing the previous data

[beikdashti]

I have windows 7 64bit on an ocz revodrive and because of some viruses and some driver issues i want to install a new version of win7.
I boot my pc from windows 7 dvd and after clicking intall it asks for the driver of sdd and i load driver from another cd and it works fine.
The problem is in the section that i must choose the partition for installing Windows, i have to create new partition. I dont want to loose my previous data that i had on sdd. I have partitions d and e other than windows partition c.
I appreciate it if you guys help me with this matter.

If you can boot up and get into Windows, as it sounds that you can you should be able to do an inplace upgrade (aka repair install) like THIS.

I would still recommend a backup of the data before starting using a Live Linux USB boot stick (you can make it using THIS tool if you need, very convenient to have) if you cannot use a Windows startup and backup to USB drive or whatever.

If virus is a real big concern, I would also consider doing the following prior to anything else. Boot from Rescue Disk 10 (free and available HERE, allow the rescue disk to update if needed and then clean the disks. Then backup data and do the repair install.
