Had a pc problem a while back, sorted it out by getting a new HD and installing vista 64 onto it, I no longer need ANYTHING on the other HD.

I was contemplating just selecting everything and pressing delete, but it comes up with the nasty "deleteing system files may result in instability etc..."

But i assume it will be ok as I am guessing the windows and blue line thing means that my OS is installed on the first HD.

Is it ok to do so?
Dont want to risk epic fail :<
Thanks

Probably best to say what is on Drive E, it's possible that it could be user setup files as often people will move their My Documents to another drive (for when reinstallation is necessary). The other thing is that it might be being used for virtual memory.

You also need to make sure that the D drive isn't your boot drive and that it doesn't contain any of the system files needed for booting.
