Yes, that should be no issue. Just remember when installing Windows, unplug the SATA cable off your secondary drive just so the installer doesn't get confused of you wrongly select the drive you want your Windows files installed to. 

Hi everyone

 

I have an issue with my PC, which I wasn't able to resolve. I've tried everything I could think of. My last plan is to reinstall everything.

My question, which might have been asked before, would be:

 

Is it possible to reformate the boot volume and keep a secondairy volume unformated (can I just copy everything onto the secondairy harddrive and then copy everything back from the secondairy drive like from a USB thumbdrive) ?

 

My drives are a SSD 275GB and a HDD 4TB. 

 

By the way the HDD is formated with exFAT and the SSD with NTFS.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
