[QUOTE="blert, post: 1043201, member: 64702"] Of course, you can try. You can cancel installation if it is not going down the path you expected (up to a point). If you want to keep the old drive 'as is' and try to get files off of it later then try this... Remove old drive and install the new one. [B]Leave the old one out for now[/B]. Install Windows. When it is time to input your login credentials use the [B]exact same[/B] ones as you had on your old installation (both username and password). Then power off and put the old drive in. Now when you boot you [I]may[/I] be able to access your files on your old drive. If it gives you trouble you can go into the settings of the old drive and reset permissions so you can take control of all the files. I can't guarantee it will work but if it doesn't then at least the old drive is still intact and you can attempt to recover files off of it or boot back to it and copy them onto a USB drive..
