Can I borrow your sledgehammer?

Well I have 4 partitions, 1 for windos & software, 1 for MP3s, 1 for games and one is empty, wanted to use it for back-ups.

So I can just format the C:\ partition? Should I do the games too, because of the registration things??

My dad once wanted to format 1 partition but accidentily did everything. Will that be a problem, or was he just being stupid?

you should format everything thats expendable. everythings easily replaceable. keep your game saves, but format the games them selves cuz they're easily reinstalled.


When you run the XP cd and goto the install. it has you select a partition, you just select C: tell it to delete, then tell it to install windows on the unpartitioned space.

just read carefully when you do it.
