Formatting Q, 2 drives

[Vikki]

Hi, I am having problems with my computer, & am wondering
if it is possible to format the C drive & reinstall Xp
without affecting or deleting files off the 80gb second
drive, which is split into 2(D & E drives)so I can still
access them afterwards..

Thanks

Hi Vikki,

Absolutely. Only the drive being reinstalled to would need the formatting
(and actually, a repair install is a better option, you may want to try this
first).

Yes. One has nothing to do with the other.
