My Windows arrived to a state where only a refresh (or reset, but I wanted to save my files) can fix it. I've read the tutorial given by this website, i'm just wondering if refreshing windows affects other partitions?

I have a OS partition (C) and a DATA partition (D), will D be affected at all by a windows refresh?

Thank you for your time.

I wish that had been the case. I had a hybrid additional drive that wound up losing half of its partition after doing a Windows 8.1 refresh.

It kept the first partition of the drive (4 TB), but deleted the second part which is now 'unallocated' space. I'm running data recovery wizard to hopefully get it back.

I wouldn't have thought that a refresh would affect another drive aside from the main boot one either, but it did this time.
