| Junior Member | Refomatting I am wondering if i decide to reformat windows, and I have windows and apps on my C drive, but all my storage on D, when I go to delete partition C to make a new one for windows new, What will become of my D drive? Will i have to delete my D drive partition as well before i can install windows on my C? Or for my new windows to recognise D? c:\ 300gig (2x160gig raided) Sata2 d:\ 80gig Sata2 e:\ 500gig *coming soon* Sata2 (300mb/s) |

| Junior Member | Re: Refomatting But when i start the installation... wont it ask me to delete the partition before i can install windows on it? cuz when im at that partition screen, it will show 2 partitions, i cant create new on eighther, only delete, or can I still format that drive with the same partitions in the end? |

| Member | Re: Refomatting if you're installing vista then there should be a screen where you can select which partition you would want to install the OS on. if you delete the C partition then you would not be able to install it on there unless you create another partition with a partition manager application. so go with what Brink said and just format the C partition so the installation will just copy the files onto the C drive and won't touch you D partition at all. btw when you start the installation it won't ask you to delete the whole partition it will just say it will delete the files on that partition. hopefully that helps. |
