Well, I was going to do an xp tweak, when a right clicked my c drive, i found an option called "Format" I clicked it, and a dialog popped up, I have included a screenshot. I would like to know what the options do, and what it does when I press start. Thank you.

Oh, I will also include the options (in order or appearance):

None

NTFS, Fat32

Default allocation size, 512 bytes, 1024 bytes, 2048 bytes, 4096 bytes

Formatting the hard drive erases all the files and programs, your whole operating system in fact. You only do it when you want a clean reinstall of your operating system or to erase all personal information before you get rid of the computer.

Yes, I know that, but i was wondering if it partitions the drive, or makes a partition with xp, or eraces it all. Thank you though.
