Will formatting C toast the MBR?

I wanna try slack 8 on my main computer ( im so lazy i dont want to use the keyboard on the same desk and a monitor a 90 degree head turn away :) ) but I'm not sure how to go about doing it.

40G drive now:
C: 6g XP RC2 NTFS
E: 20g Win2k SP2 NTFS
D: FTP/Storage 13g FAT32

I don't want to lose 2k or my backup and I can't move/resize the XP partition w/ PM6 so I'm thinking formattting C is the only option. If I format C, will it lose the MBR and destroy 2k's boot loader or is the MBR before the C drive[edit]?[/edit] Thanks.
