1.	Solve : Planning on rebuilding computer need to know if Hard Drive needs to be erased.?
Answer» Im rebuilding my computer and I'm keeping my hard drive but i need to know if I need to erase it first or not.If you dont have anything you want to save you can wipe the drive. If you change the board on this up grade you can USE the old drive as a slave along with the new drive.Will all the files I currently have on the hard drive still be there after i MAKE the upgrade? If you add a new drive to the upgrade and use the old drive as a slave no files will be lostIm not going to add a new drive so will i still LOSE anything?Ok, if you use a new mother board on your upgrade & it is not the same as your old one you will not be able to use the same hd without starting fresh.If you use a board with the IDENTICAL chipset it should workBest to START clean on a new build.... Format the drive. You're data will be gone.
