This is a very simple query.
Suppose I have 2 partitions on my HDD - C & D and i have installed win 98 in c. If I remove win 98 will the contents of drive D also be removed?

Thanks in advance for answering the question

no... not at all....
only the drive in which you installed OS will be effected... the contents in any other drives will not be effected .... :)
