Hello!

I've recently realized that I might get better use out of my computer if I put stuff in the secondary disk space the people who set up my comp put in.

It's a 120gig Hard drive, but they split it up into two.

Now, whenever I access the second one... it tells me that Drive D (the second, unused half of my hard drive space) is unformatted and asks if I want to format it.

Questions:

What is formatting, and what does it do to Drive D?
Since Drive C and Drive D are actually on the same hard drive but separated, will it mess up my Drive C as well?
Will I lose all the files on Drive C if I format D?

Thanks! :D
