Member Group: Members Posts: 18 Joined: 1-March 06 From: Minnesota Member No.: 57,389	I want to reformat my XP computer. I don't exactly know how to do this. Also, my computer has 2 hard drives, and I only want to reformat the C: (system) drive but keep the files on my D: (storage) drive. Is this possible? How would I do it? Any tips? Thanks ahead of time.
