Hi,

It kind of depends upon what you are exactly asking. For example, if you mean it has a copy on and you want to format the drive, but leave that copy on there...the answer would be "NO" because formatting will wipe the drive.

If you mean you have a drive that has nothing on it that you want to keep, then the answer would be "YES" because there is no OS on it to lose.

Hope that helps and if we misunderstood, please clarify.
