Reinstalling Windows...

Unconditional · 8 Jun 2006 at 15:48

I have 2 hard drives, one with the OS on and one which I use for data.

If I reinstall Windows on the OS drive and make sure I only format this drive, will all the data on my other drive remain intact?

yep the data on the other drive will not be touched.

yeah, but i'd unplug it (or disable in bios) for xp install, as it 'might' confuse the naming of the drives (main drive might be D etc..) -unplug all usb pens etc too

My old set up once did that. I was not happy I lost 80gb of stuff.
