    I am gonna format my drive, but I have a question....
    I fired up Partition Magic tonight, with the intent of enlarging my C: partition before my format. For some reason, i thought it would be 'cool' to have multiple partitions lol. Now when i go to make my C: partition bigger, PM tells me this: This Partition Crosses the 1024 cylinder boundry and may not be bootable.....
    should i go ahead and resize it and do my format, or can i choose mutiple partitions during the windows install to format. I want to just keep one partition for files and nuke the rest. Any advice would be great

    That is a standard warning based on FAT as you are using ntfs it wuill be fine.

    If you want only 1 partition and format everything then just reinstall windows.
    If your gonna format everything you might as well reinstall windows then do your partitions using pm.
    If you want to keep everything in the partition you want to enlarge i wpould back it up first before enlarging it.
