It shouldn't take too long to format, 5 minutes absolute tops. |

prolly a good idea to burn a ghost of your clean windows install to cd. it makes "re-installing" all the easier down the track. |

NO, you CANT format one partioned drive. You'll lose EVERYTHING@!!!! STOP DONT DO IT, just find someone with a spare 4 gigs and copy your s*** to their machine. P.S. only j/k :P |

zoix you and your plethora of missinformation can get f***ed. you can format your c: partition and your d: will remain untouched (unless u fdisk it as well) |
