reformating during xp setup

[MrMcGriddle]

im at the setup screen of xp where it gives me a choice of deleting the c partition. Is that option that will reformat the c drive

If you delete the partition it wil reformt.

Select the partition, hit D to delete the partition and it will ask you to confirm by hitting Enter, then possibly L. Then if you want to use the entire unallocated space in a single partition, hit Enter and select the format type, it will automatically create the partition then format it. If you want to set a partition size - delete the partition as described above, then hit C and set the size, THEN hit Enter to format.

No. That choice comes later.

good info, as I'm about to put xp on my 98se machine

Leave one partition FAT32 in case you want to put 98se on it.
