Question Partitions Not Formatted

Hello.

I have just finished building my computer and have a question. When installing Windows XP Pro, I created partitions on my hard drive. It formatted the c: and installed xp to it. When I go to My Computer and then the other partitions, it says they need to be formatted. Do I just right click on them and then format them or is there another way I have to do it? Thanks.

You can also format the partitions from Disk Management.
