ok, my sister's comp has a 20 gig and an 80 gig, 20 gig = C: drive, 80 gig = E: drive
the E: drive is system, and the C: drive is paging file
i NEED to know, that if i reformat C: drive if it will kill windows so i will have to re-install windows, i saw this in computer management on the administrative tools in control panel on windows xp..
so all i need to know, if the E: drive says it is system, and the C: drive says it is Paging File, would that completely screw up windows to format the C: drive? i know i had a problem like this before and it did screw it up, but i want to make sure

change the page file back to e: and you're all set.
