Otherwise you would need a DOS boot disk (which you can probably get at www.bootdisk.com ) which you could boot onto and format the c drive from there.
You will need to -
Make sure you have backups of everything from C that you want to keep. Saves, documents, settings, bookmarks, etc.
Make sure you have drivers for the essential stuff eg graphics card and modem / connection device so that you can get onto the internet if needed to download other stuff.
