If you have enough room, copy everything you want to save to a temporary
folder on the drive you're not formatting. If you have a CD-R or RW drive,
you may want to check out Image for Windows from

Just install your second hd as slave . then start your
computer . open my computer then select the files you
want to save from the second drive and transfer them to
your 1st drive. After that go to the my computer screen
right click on the drive you want to format and select
format. this should do it.>-----Original Message-----
