i currently run a partitioned 160gb drive, with a 10gb partition for windows and some other stuff.

my new mb, processor (a64), etc. just came in. i'm obviously planning on reformatting the 10gb partition to reload windows fresh, but i wasnt sure if i needed to reformat the other half for maximum speed. (i know a lot of .exes wont run and stuff if i leave them cause of the files it puts on c:)

i'm gonna reload all of whats on the other partition anyways, but it'd save time not to reformat the whole thing. (i copied everything i want to keep over to my other 160)

my main concern is about speed: i want to make sure that i dont lose any by not formatting the whole disk.

so basically my question is should i delete the partition and reformat the entire disk, or just c:

thanks in advance

You don't need to reformat it.

However, it should be "NTFS" formated instead of Fat32 for best speed.
