vgn-s1, reformat erases only C: drive or also theD: drive?

Foxhound — Tue, 09 Aug 2005 13:56:12 GMT

Hi need to reinstall windows cuz I messed something up, If I use the CD's to reinstall the OS, does it format only the C: drive or alo the 😧 Drive? I need to know since there are alot of files on 😧 that I stil need.
My old Vaio deleted both partitions when I reinstalled the OS, thats why I ask.
Thanks

The system recovery should only format the C drive. How old was your other Vaio?
No harm in backing up data to an external drive, if you have one, just to be on the safe side.

Hey Foxhound,

Just restore C:, and as Rich says make a backup!

Btw Foxhound, what did you mess up? Maybe there is an easier solution.
