My hard drive has a total disk space of 80GB.
I have partitioned it into C of 24.4 GB has only 3.96 GB free, D which is 29.4 GB and has 21.6 FB free, and E which is 20.6 GB and has 19.6GB free

I would like to format the partition C and keep the other partitions as they are.

Your advice will be helpful.

Thanks

Mac.

You can boot off your OS disc and format/reinstall windows on that one partition.

If your Op sytem isnt on c: you can do it this way.

1. open a command prompt and type format c: <enter>

If it is on c:
2. you can boot with the cd as stated above and boot to a command prompt and type format c: <enter> as well.

Well I did the same a few times and if I was to partion the C hard drive, you would choose the drive in when you are reformatting it... The option will be there

Just download the free version of EASEUS partition mananger, been using it and it does everything you will ever need with partitions.
