I just but a nice new Acer Aspire 1660

It is currently running XP pro with 3 partitions on the 60gb drive all fat32
1 small partition that is called PQService (i assume this is unique to acer somehow?)
and 2 equal sized partitions (27gb each, 1 system and 1data)

I am not sure what is in that partition PQservice I am hoping someone else has an acer lappy and can help me out explaining how the whole thing works

I want to reformat to NTFS and either have one big partition or 2 seperate partitions (10gb system, and the rest data)

I dont have a Windows disk with this just he recorvery disks, how can I do this reformat and still be able to use the recovery disks in the future.

thanks to all
