If you move the data to your second drive you will be ok, but it will overwrite
you C drive when you reinstall.

If I install Windows XP Pro on a drive that currently contains only data, is
there a way to preserve the data or will the installation automatically
erase the existing data on that drive without giving me the option to
preserve that data?
(I have a computer with 2 drives. I think the c drive is beginning to go
bad. As a result, I want to make the data drive the c drive, install the OS
on that drive and then use the former data drive as the c boot drive and get
rid of the old c drive.)
Thanks.
Steve
