Dual-Boot Reinstall Question

Thread Starter 
Hello,

I am running a dual-boot of Windows 7 and Windows XP, with Windows 7 on the C: drive and XP on D: The time has come where I want to install the Windows 7 RC that was just released. Am I ok reformating just the drive that Windows 7 is on and reinstalling Windows 7? Will all of my XP data and MBR dual boot options remain intact (at boot up I able to select which OS to start) if I do this? I am hoping that I do not have to install both OS's from scratch.

Thanks!

W7 RC should pick up the partition that you choose (previous W7) and format and install itself. It should not be touching your XP stuffs.

cheers ...
