Format primary harddrive and not touch secondary drive
I format once each year and I have a little problem regarding format.
When I format the primary drive, install the OS and all software, the secondary harddrive is not seen. So I reformat the secondary harddrive with the software that came along (Maxtor). I like to know if it is possible to format the primary harddrive and have the secondary harddrive to retain all the contents. Meaning, I do not want to reformat the secondary drive and continue using it as it is, even after formatting the primary drive. Is this possible? |

yep, you shouldn't have a problem with doing it. To ensure that you don't accidentally wipe the second drive, you can try unplugging it.
