I have a second drive setup as a slave. It has a lot of stuff on it I no longer need. I want to wipe it clean and just use it for movies, music and pics storage. It has Windows XP on it but it's missing alot of .dll files. (Don't ask) I just want to use it for extra storage with no OS. Do I just reformat it and start putting files on it or is there something more I should do?

If you don't want any of the data that's currently on it, just go ahead and reformat it.
