[quote="MR. SPECIAL ED":12c0c]OK ladies and....ladies -

What he is trying to do is NOT possible. At least not with any program I've seen. You CANT choose which partition to format since BOTH partitions are on a SINGLE HARD DRIVE which gets FORMATED...NOT the partitions. Partitions are not TRUE hard-drives, only seperated space. That space is STILL in a single unit which will be affected by ANYTHING done to the unit.[/quote:12c0c]

Wrong. Use partition commander (small floppy) and make an NTFS partition of C:

Go back into Windows NT/2000/XP (Dunno how on Win95,98,ME) and goto Disk Management. Format the free partitioned space. Make sure you change the name of your CD-ROM to E so you can make the partiton D. I do this at work all the time, of coarse it's possible.
