Default Reformat Windows Partion troubles

Yeah, I'm trying to reformat a windows partition. It's taking a ****load of time. Is this normal? I'm using my D drive right now. I'm formating C drive.

That's a gross generalization. It can take 10-100minutes depending on speed/connection/size.

OK, I was being sure. Size 28.8 GB
It's not letting me do it. It's just giving me a can't complete format error. Is there another way? I mean I'm trying to kill windows XP Home since I upgraded to pro. I can't reformat the C drive.

Um.. you can't reformat a system drive.

I recommend popping your windows xp disk and start from that. Delete C:/ partition. Go back to windows and creat a new partition from the free space.
