The effects of a clean install

Hi Dave, Dual booting will not preserve the bootloader for the recovery volume. There is only one boot sector on the hard drive, and it will be overwritten when you install any other OS, whether it is in a dual boot configuration, upgrade, or clean install. I get it now. Thanks a million Rick. Dave T.

The effects of a clean install
"Dave T." wrote in message
... When doing an install of Win 7, Does the entire drive get wiped, or just the C partition? I'm thinking of course of maintaining the recovery partition. Dave T. Why? The correct and safest route would be to contact the manufacturer and for a nominal cost get the recovery disks for your make, model and serial number. You are asking about something that may or may not happen three months down the road. (Windows 7)
