I recently updated my computer with a new motherboard RAM and I got an extra Hard Drive (1TB) but I installed it as a secondary hard drive because at the time I didn't have the install disk for Windows.
Anyway my question is, now that I have already installed my hard drive and it has data on it but no operating system, is there anyway I can install Windows 7 with the disk without losing the data I have on that hard drive already?
The reason for this is because the hard drive I had originally is starting to go out getting a S.M.A.R.T. error on start up. I plan on eventually removing that hard drive completely, but I can't until I get Windows on my 1TB hard drive.
