I have 3 drives in my system. A 300 gig Raptor for OS and programs, a 750 gig drive for storage, and a 150 gig Raptor for storage. The 150 gig Raptor used to be my main drive, so it has an OS and a bunch of programs on it that I don't need anymore.
I want to get everything off the 150 Raptor so it's an empty drive to use for storage. What's the best way to do this?

Re: Formatting a hard drive
If you don't use the data on it. Just right click on the drive and click format.
Intel I7 860 | Intel Board | 8GB DDR3 PC1600 | MSI HD5770 Juniper XT | 32 GB SSD | 4.25 TB's and counting!!
