Had windows me pre installed . Did format and installed windows xp (booted with xp cd rom)after change of boot order in bios.everything went well for a while then delated some system files by mistake so i did another complete install each time creating one partition.as i have one 60gb hdd and i wanted it left the same.but now someone is telling me you dont have to create partitions every time you install your system.they say if you just format your 60gb hdd will still remain the same .. is this true or not as im a little confused
