Hi. My question is if you have 3 hard drives, one that you just reformatted and plan to only use for backing up GRAPHICS and music..do you have to put windows or something on it or can you just copy files over to it? I KNOW that might be a silly question, but I am not that literate about computers. Any help appreciated.

The reason I am having to do this is that my C Drive is getting ready to crash. It's a compaq with 3 hard drives..one is C: windows xp, i think the other is E:windows 98..but might be xp and the D drive is the one I just reformatted. I don't know how I would BOOT into that to put a windows xp on it. My EX boyfriend set this whole computer system up and all I know how to do is drive it. LOL

Once I find out what I have to do about the D Drive now that I reformatted it, I would appreciate some help in where to post my problem with the C drive that's getting ready to crash. Thank you and Have a great dayGood question dear.
How do you know that your c drive is getting ready to cruch?
You dont need any xp on the d drive that you just formatted all need to do is copy your pictures and your music to the d drive thats all. Using media player you will have to link your musics. What i mean is if you cut and paste your songs media will not play them, you will have to search for media in the d drive and you are sorted dear...

Good luck sweety, is there a chance since your exSmooth, lol. GX44 the name says Comp Hope.
