  I have a Dell XPS M1330 (Intel Core 2 Duo T7250) with Vista 32-bit. I'd like to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit. I know I would need to do a clean install to accomplish this. Now there are 4 partitions: C: (OS); D (Recovery); hidden EISA and hidden primary partition. - Will Windows 7 just overwrite C and D? Or will it delete the hidden partitions? - I'd like to keep Dell Media Direct... is it possible to keep this? How do you install this with Windows 7?  - Any other issues with Dell or XPS M1330 I should be aware of?   Thanks!! :)     Hi, If you do a clean install of Win 7 64 bit, then you will lose all 4 partitions, and as for Media direct, you will have to reinstall that. HERE is a support journal for reinstalling Media Direct.
