just want to make sure before i do this - if i want to backup some stuff on my hard drive, can i partition it, put whatever i want to keep on the separate partition, and then format the other partition (which would include xp) and the stuff on the backup partition would remain untouched
Either way, I would backup it all up on cd or dvd first...
It would indeed, but if you are unsure about doing it then it is probably best to backup to CD/DVD too.
Just make sure you format the correct partition!
One thing shady people did (before two hard drives or external ones were cheap) is put all the shady stuff on a small partition, and then if necessary one could format that partition and leave the rest of the system alone.
