Well, I'm about to stick this one hd in another computer. I remember a long time ago I did that and the computer would refuse to work because (I guess) that master boot record was configured with the previous hardware configuration and putting the hdd in a new cpu/mobo/ram environment would render it unbootable.
Long story short, I have this hdd, it's got two partitions. The second (D) is storage for work and files, the first (C) is storage for OS and programs. Since simply sticking it in a new setup means I won't be able to reuse it, that means I have to reformat the C drive partition. Is there a way I can do it to where I can reformat only the C drive with a new, fresh install of an OS and still be able to access the D drive?
I would appreciate any comments. Thanks.
Regards.
