Hi all, I just did a new install of windows 7 on a brand new hd (Seagate momentus). But--now after the fact--I do not recall either formatting the drive or creating a separate "partition" for the windows OS, as I seem to remember doing in the past for previous Windows versions on other hds. . . . Is this going to be a problem for the sys.? Were these done automatically? (At least I'm pretty sure I accidentally forgot to check the format box in the custom install options.) I just want some peace of mind that I didn't start off on the completely wrong foot w/ this new hd. Thank you,
