Ok so I am about to do a new os install on my fireds new ssd, but he uses multiple drives in his rig. He has a ssd for games and a raided set of HDDs for data storage (ie word docs, powerpoints). I have done a thousand installs before but never a swap like this. So when i do the install and reconnect the HDDs (data storage drives) will it be prompted to re-format or will all the data remain?
