Hi just have a 4 part question regarding hard drive partitions.

Can you:

1.create a hard drive partition and save a bunch of crap onto it

2.Wipe the hard drive except for said partition

3.reinstall operating system

4. access partitioned section and put all the crap back onto the main partition

All answers are much appreciated.

Thanks

Parker

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes
4. yes - unless you mean you still want the data that was wiped in question 2. In which case, no..the data would likely have been corrupted or overwritten by the OS install.
