I'm trying to re-format my hard drive on my desktop because I'm selling it and want to give it to the person with a clean HD.

I get to the point where I choose what partition to install xp on.

I deleted the C: partition, but there are two other ones and I was wondering if I should delete them as well, or keep them. This is exactly what it says...

-: Partition1 [FAT] 47 MB (30 MB free)
Unpartitioned Space 233609 MB
F: Partition3 [FAT32] 4754 MB (846 MB Free)
Unpartitioned Space



Should I delete 1 and 3? Or make sure not to? Thanks everyone!

You want to reformat the entire drive as a single NTFS partition (if you're putting XP back on it).

are those recovery partitions?
