Formatting Drive query??

[Phil_2k5]

I'm not one to know much about formatting but i want to formatt my whole harddrive without having to reinstall Xp and the internet Setting again,So If i Format by just going to -My computer,Right on "Hard Drive C" and press format will this just format the drive and not the whole pc,I.e not having to reinstall xp and ****?

Unless the hd is partitioned, no, you cant do that, only then would you be able to format the other partitions, you cant touch c drive. You will have to format with the xp disc. You can make an image of the drive prior to format, and load this when formnatted.

It will delete whatever is on the C: drive, which is probably the OS itself. Why exactly do you want to reformat?
