How to remove 1 of 2 physical drives safely when the
drive to be removed has files that were installed during
setup of the operating system?
I had installed the slave drive (that is to be removed)
in order to quickly move files from the primary drive
before formatting. After formatting I installed Windows
XP Professional and discovered that the slave drive was
assigned drive letter C and had several new files
written to it by the OS. Microsoft says that I can
change drive letters safely (AND PRIDES THE PROCESS) but
I've not found notes on how to also remove the slave
drive safely. Thanks for your help. (e-mail address removed)
 
Don't know how but some info if you decide to reinstall the OS to the master
drive. Remove the slave drive before you install the OS. In the future when
setting up a system with 2 physical HDD make the slave drive all logical
partition/s in a Extended drive.
