Assuming you are going to re-install an operating system on the other 400GB, Boot your system with the Operating system disk. There are sufficient instructions there to walk you through the process. If you are looking for something to be on the 400GB portion of your hard drive, you are out or luck, formatting the hard drive erases everything on it.
