163982 2003-07-30 08:32:00 I now have 2 hard drives on my computer.
If I want to use my HP recovery discs to reinstall windows Me and software that came with the computer, will I be given the option of reformatting one drive with programs on, whilst not reformatting 2nd drive with My Documents on, which I don't want to disturb?

163983 2003-07-30 08:44:00 If you are worried do what I do disconnect the drive you don't what touched in this case the drive with your data on it. I do this a lot when installing linux (Lost count how many times) I just unplug the ribbon cable from the master drive so that linux does not see it. beama (111)
