NO if you format you will lose everything on the drive, i would slave it in and then run all the virus cleaners and such on D im assuming D is the slave drive and it should clean it that way, thats what i do with laptop h/d's people bring to me and it cleans them i throw it back in and done.
Source(s): If you have a D drive then it will be E or F depending on how many other drives you have already setup get where im going with this. Anyhow if you right click on the drive and you have virus software and mbam loaded you can scan the drive this way and clean it . - Anonymous1 decade ago
