A reformat may be possible
I made a Windows 7 x64 clean install disk to reformat my computer but I may have some issues that need to be clarified. I originally had a 600 GB hard disk on my acer laptop when I decided to install a SSD. I had a space on the bottom of the laptop for an extra hard drive. I decided to take out the hard drive, (600GB) and put it in the reserved space. I installed the new SSD in the spot where the original hard drive was, so now I have the SSD with the Boot files and reserved partition. I also have a 600GB hard drive that is classified as a primary partition. Now if I decide to do a clean install I know the files on the SSD will be overwritten but how about the 600GB hard drive that I keep all my Data on. Will the clean install wipe that too? That is not what I want but because of the fact that it is classified as a Primary partition I keep getting this feeling that windows will wipe it when I choose to do the fresh Clean install with the Windows 7 x64 Digital River SP1 media refresh disk that I burned from the .iso. If you know what will my computer Management look like after I do the clean install. I will leave a SNIP of the way it looks right now and maybe you can tell me what will be left after the install.
