Linux installation, hard drive formatting?
I have multiple hard drives and want to overwrite my C drive with Linux. Would the other drives also be wiped during installation? I know I could just remove them during installation, but my PC is a tank, and before I open it up, I'd rather just ask.

The other partitions are influenced only to the extent that programs/games on the other partitions will no longer run with the previous OS.
Otherwise only C: deleted/formatted
Not normally.
But keep in mind that the windows do not spell the windows during installation. Then there is only the manufacturer, the capacity etc…
Unless you do anything wrong with other records, nothing happens. However, you should know the data of your records such as serial number, model, manufacturer very accurately, because a "C: Drive" you won't get to see during a Linux installation, and then a different record is selected as desired for an installation.
No, there's nothing to do with the other plates. Use Ubuntu and with me this has formatted only the D disk
