So, I can download Windows 7 from MDNA (legal free download for students) and burn it to a disc.

What would be the best option for me? Format my 500GB HDD and use the 80GB one to back up my data? What would you suggest.

Thanks
Unless your MSDNAA Program Administrator has created his or her own download for Windows 7 RC, you'll be getting the previous beta. I am the MSDNAA Program Administrator for the Uni I work for and we've been notified that elms (the company that runs the MSDNAA system for Microsoft) will be officially releasing Windows 7 RC on the system on the 7th May.

If your MSDN PA has created his own download, it should work, but I would recommend waiting.
