How to add internal HDD to newly installed Windows without formatting?
My computer has become problematic so I’ve decided to reinstall Windows 7. But before I do, I just want to know if I will be able to add and access my secondary internal SATA HDDs without having to format them. I’ve seen in a YouTube video that they initialized the HDD and then when it came to the New Simple Volume Wizard, after assigning a drive letter, the dialog box said “to store data on this partition, you must format it first.” Does that mean I won’t be able to use my hdds (read/write) without having to format it first?
