Default Reinstalling Windows in a new folder

There is no need to involve D: drive. You can either install to a new
folder on C: drive, format the C: partition or delete the Windows folder
from DOS.

Hi, I'm about to start the process of reinstalling Windows
in a different folder because I keep getting Explorer.exe
errors.
I just have a few questions to ask.
1) My Windows folder is currently on the C: drive and my
personal files are on the D: drive (two separate drives).
If I was to reinstall Windows on the D: drive you it then
be safe to delete it from the C: drive?
2) Because all my past work is on my D: drive, I don't
really want to install Windows there because if my
explorer.exe problem ever arises again then I don't want
to format that drive etc. So is it possible to reinstall
on the D: drive, delete the version on the C: and then
reinstall on the C: drive?

Thanks.
