Does Formatting Main Hdd(partition) Affect The Data On A Raid Sata Hdd(dynamic) by Dazzr(m): 6:57pm On Jan 27, 2007 |
Hi I intend to format my c: and re-install my OS (xp), but when i put my latest harddrive (sata raid with small orange connector cable) it added it differently in my Disk Management screen. i.e. Please see picture (attached): [img][/img] c: = Primary(name) - Layout = Partition - Type = Basic - NTFS/Healthy(system) e: = Third (name) - Layout = Simple - Type = Dynamic - NTFS/Healthy This is the first sata raid I have added and I do not want to format the main drive and loose data that shows how the third is configured, if that is how it works. My question is: Can I format the c: (partition type) without loosing or making the data on the e: (dynamic type) useless Is this just the way that the sata raid is configured whenever you add When I put the OS on again will it pick up the drive exactly how it is now. Thanks Dazzr
