You can't format C:. It contains the boot loader for XP.
You could just delete
all the Win98 files frorn C: and remove the Win98 reference from boot.ini.
I don't
know of a way to change your XP to another drive without a re-install.
Just us
C: for installing programs or storing documents or whatever.
