I have an old hardrive set as a slave in my computer and I still have a lot of files on there that I would like to keep. I have tried to back up some things from my current HD and have run out of space. Drat. Would it be eaasier to reformat or uninstall windows(and how!)?

EDIT: Just going to reformat, thanks to the people V (down) that helped!

Thank you in advance,
