Hi peeps.
Probably a really stupid question, just want to be sure I wont mess things up.
I am about to install windows on a hard drive(120GB), which is currently partitioned into two 60GB chunks.
The first partition (currently D:\) I am planning to format and install windows onto.
The second partition (currently E:\) has my current windows xp installation in and my data(i dont want to keep xp here). I will format this after I have installed windows and this will be my data partition.
(note this drive is *not* bootable, im getting rid of my old C: drive).
Can anyone corfirm the following for me:
1) If I format the current D: drive when I go thru the windows install, will it make this my C:\ and make this partition bootable - do I need to worry about anything here?
2) Will the data on my other partition be ok if I repartition/format the first partition?
3) the file structure of this drive is NTFS - is this a problem?
Thanks for any help...
