...
I format my windoze machine at least once every 6 months or so, keeps it running clean.
...
It's nice and stable, so I figure why mess with a good thing.
I'd point out the humor here, but do I really have to?
BTW - I do a top end rebuild on my car every 7500 miles to keep it running clean...
As to Alex's question, you should be able to see existing drive partitions and select one to install on, delete one or more, create one or more, etc. If there's a 15GB partition on say an 80GB drive, and you want to use the entire 80GB for your Windows partition (c: drive by convention), then click on that 15GB partition, delete it, confirm that action, select the 80GB of unpartitioned space to install on, confirm that you want to use the entire space, etc. You can partition in advance in DOS or a pre-install environment but it's generally only necessary when there are non-windows partitions on the drive and the Win installation is baffled by them.
