Okay I have the following:
80 GB SATA
120 GB IDE (this drive has windows)
300 GB IDE
What I want to do is reformat and put Windows on the 80GB HD put keep the files on the 120 and 300 IDEs. If I reformat (fresh install on 80 GB SATA) will I be able to keep the data on my 120 and 300? The reason I ask this is because when I added my 300GB drive to the system just recently I had to format it with the Windows drive utility. When I install a fresh copy on the 80GB will I just be able to plug in the 120/300 IDEs with the old data?
