Formatting and the slave drive
Last response: in Storage
This is a noobish question, but I just wanted to make sure before going ahead and formatting my master drive.
The data in my slave drive will be retained and readily accessible after i format and reinstall vista on my master drive, correct?
Some random internet threads were making me worry although I'm pretty sure the slave drive wont be affected
by the formatting of the master drive. Speaking of two physical drives of course.
Thanks!

There shouldn't be any problems, but for complete peace of mind during the installation you could just disconnect the drive that has the data you want to keep.that won't work unless he rejumpers the master from its current 'master- slave present' to 'single' mode and then back again once he's done.
No the slave drive will not be affected by formating the master unless they are in a raid coiguration.
