Hey all.

I'm in need of some help. Nobody seems to be replying on other forums i've tried and as the title says, until I get this sorted I can't experience this game in Win 7. Hope you can help out here.

Ok, so I have installed a secondary hard drive. It's a Western Digital 1TB drive. Powered it up and connected the Sata cable. No problems booting into windows.

I am currently running Win XP SP3 32 bit and I have a nice new copy of Win 7 Home Premium Edition and I aim to put it on the new drive. Currently XP is the master boot drive and the new drive was just placed into the next available slot (Disc 1).

The drive is visible in device manager and says it is working properly and there are no conflicts or issues. However, it is not visible in explorer when I click my computer where all your drives are listed. Now, I believe that you have to do the below to get it to be active. Please study it.

Now, going into My Computer > Manage > Computer Management > Disk Management I can clearly see that my new drive is there and I have already initialized it.

Now it asks me to create a new partition. Not a problem. I click Primary Partition > Maximum Partition size MB > Assign the drive letter (pick J as it is the next one available)....then I am stuck at this bit:

Mount in the following empty NTFS folder: (blank space with browse option)

I click Browse and it comes up with the following:

C:\ (Win XP drive with expansion option)
I\: (Western Digital External hard drive also with expanison option)

My question is what do I do here and where do I allocate this drive? I have assigned it a letter which is obviously J but the next bit throws me. Do I creat a new folder and call it J?

I have no idea. Please advise.

Thanks all.

Have you tried installing Win 7 directly to that drive? The installation wizard can partition and format the drive.
