winxp pro accidentally installed on a backup HD

[Guest]

Hi! When I want format my C:\ drive and install a new winxp pro, somehow it
get installed into my D:\ HD, which is for data backup purpose and has no
window previously installed. I don't want any operation system in my D drive
and I wonder if there is a SAFE way to remove winxp and leave my data
untouched? Thank You in Advance.

Thanks Andrew.
I understand what you mean, but the files in my D: are quite large. my C:
wont be able to hold them all and burning them into a CD is too much trouble.
Is there other solution? Can I just manually delete the operation systems
(folders) from D:?
P.S Should I just leave it and use the OS on C:? Because in my mind having a
OS in my D: just make it more dangerous(Viruses)
