Re: Reformat/reinstall OS, Win98, etc.
HD has three partitions. First, OS; second, programs; third, data.
Can I just format and reinstall OS on first partition, and not lose data?

Demetri:
As long as you don't reformat the drive/partition on which your data
resides, you won't lose your data. You'll probably have to reconfigure
the appropriate programs to locate the data, but no big deal.
