    Just a quick question before i accidentally format my whole drive,
    When i enter the recovery mode the software asks me if i want to recover windows to the first partition the second partition or merge the two and recover to that one. In relation to the C: and D: logical partitions which one is which? I have a large number of important files on drive D: and dont really want to format it.

    tnx

    You want to reformat to the first partition (A.K.A. the C: drive). The second partition is D and merging will blank everything and give you one fresh clean install on a single C drive. Obviously you want the first of the three. If the stuff you're trying to save is extremely important, I'd copy the elsewhere beforehand cause these types of operations don't always go 100% smoothly.
