    reformatting will delete everything.. you will need to instaill windows and start over if that is ur system disk,

    if u dont know how. i would sujest moving the shit on the other hdd but if u have 400-500mb fee thats enough for ur comp to work properly. and u can just install stuff on the other hdd if u need to.

    I was gonna ask same question as Nik-Cexy

    Did you split the drives in 2, or do you physically have 2 harddrives?
