You shouldn't have any problems with the programs that are on your 2nd HDD. Just make sure that you format the correct drive when you begin your reformat. Just reformatted my C drive and all my files and folders on my D drive work perfectly.

No, most of them will have to be reinstalled. Wiping the OS drive wipes the registry.

Adding on to what glc said...most of your games will probably run fine fresh after the install, but pretty much anything else won't, or at least not like they used to.
Additionally, most programs still store their settings/preferences/etc. on the C drive, stuff such as email and browser programs, so be careful about that too. Dogwelder |
