If I choose Refresh on windows 8, does it format my hard drives besides C:?

I have my important stuffs and apps on another drive. I was wondering that if I make a refresh, does it also format or delete F: G: drives as well? How about the desktop files, will they be lost?

This doesn't in the slightest bit relate to programming. Expect this question to be closed shortly. – None – 2013-03-04T08:01:19.927

No, you will not lose your files and all Metro/Modern UI applications will be reinstalled automatically, but you will need to reinstall all classic windows apps. More info here.
