not work any more, or your PC behaves abnormally, etc. The system recovery will
completely reinstall the originally configured system on your C: drive. Your D: drive
data will not be deleted if you choose to keep the same partition settings. If you decide
to modify the size of your partitions, the existing data on both drives (C: and D:) will
be deleted.
