Reformatting question

I am in the process of reformatting my HD. I have a lot of information that I dont want to lose so the only idea I had was to get an external drive and copy the info to it and recopy back to my HD once I reformat it. I have two HDs on my computer. I am only reformatting my C: and leaving my D: alone. Could I move the info to my D: and reformat my C: and would the info be ok? This would save a lot of time if it is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, just move the data to drive D: and then be careful when you're reformatting...make sure you select the right drive.

What operating system are you using?
