Hi. I haven't installed Windows 8 before and I don't know what to expect. Let me explain my situation.
I have one hard drive with two partitions, C: and D:.
C: contains Windows XP.
D: contains all my important stuff, and also Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
What I would like to do is a clean install of Windows 8 on C:, with the installer preferably ignoring everything on D:. My fear is that the installer might get some crazy idea that it should try to carry things over, either from Windows XP or from Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Do I need to make any special preparations before I install to make sure everything goes as planned?
Thank you in advance.
