If I have a logical partition and a primary partition and if I format the primary partition then will I loose the data from the logical partition?

Hello 9vaibhavd, welcome to Vista Forums!



I didn't think so, so I just did a little test, I shrunk a primary and created a logical and put a word doc on it, then I formatted the primary and the word doc was still there on the logical.



When in doubt, I have 3 words for you, backup backup backup backup.
oh that's 4 words
