Partition Question

[Hyper]

Hey All

I have a question for you all.
I have just reformatted but created a partition to back everything up onto.
So now I have my C partition with windows installed on and my D partition with all my music and pictures on etc.
Now my question is, if I installed games such as battlefield 2 on my D partition but then reformatted windows (C Partition) but my battlefield 2 would still be on the D partition. Would battlefield 2 need to be installed as my C partition with windows on was formatted. I am just using battlefield 2 as an example but will install my games on the D partition if it means when I do a reformat I dont have to reinstall all my games.

Thanks, Sam

If I'm reading the question properly. You are asking that if the game was installed on the D: partition and you did a fresh windows install on C: would it work?
I'm going to say No it won't.

Yes thats what I am asking.

Thanks for the advice guys.
I will do as you say then I just keep all my data on my D partition and install everything else on my C partition where windows is.
