Question About Partition Magic

[LebResisto]

Good Day Mates,

My DVDRW is not working due to an error in my operating system and i want to format my PC.

Am i able to use Partition Magic while using my pc and format my drives from in there?

Thank You,

Regards

No.
Formatting the drive and reinstalling the OS will mean that you'd be starting from scratch.
XP can be repaired.
If it's too far gone for System Restore to work a full repair re-install may work for you without the total wipe of a reformat.

You will need an XP cd for this.

There are Vista repair options.
The full scale one is, apparently, limited to Vista Ultimate or one of the Enterprise versions ( and I'd love to hear Microsoft's explanation for that.) but you can do a System Restore on a Home Premium version if you have the Vista cd .
