You can't format C:\ without doing a total format (as in, stick in the windows OS disc) you can format other drives such as D:\ (etc) since they're not in use.

C:\ is the default root directory for system files.

can also do it in safe mode after pressing F8 during the boot and selecting the boot mode to do it in

Trying to format your own System disk from within windows, is never a good idea.

Boot up from your Windows XP Installation CD and follow the instructions.

Make sure you have changed your BIOS to allow boot up from DVD/CD prior to Disk Drive. I tend to have disk 1st in boot up sequence from a boot up speed pointof view. Then swap them around if I need to an install.

If you don't them you will never see the windows xp boot cd options.
