If you are using XP, you can boot from the XP cd by going into your bios and
settting your boot sequence to start with your cd-rom. Once that's done,
pop the XP cd in and restart your system and follow the prompts. Same is
true with Win2K I believe. If I'm wrong about Win2K, someone will correct
me. For Win98 & Me you can use a system boot disk to fdisk and format.
WWW.Bootdisk.com has them available for download

As has been described; you can even delete the partitions if you want to and
recreate a single partition (from the two), or create three partitions if
you want.
You could format your partitions from a bootable-floppy with the 'format'
command on it, but thiere should be no need to if you have the XP-CD.
