I just bought an external harddrive....

So I can backup all my data. The problem is that my external harddrive is in the c format. if i reformat my computer and my boot drive is my c drive would the external hd not work because it has the same letter as the boot drive? Thanks If no, how can I change the letter on the external harddrive?

The external drive does not have a fixed drive letter. The drive letter is assigned by the OS when it is plugged in. Just plug it in when your computer is on and it should be assigned a letter other than C.

Thanks for clearing that out.
