re format question XP

I have 3 partitions, running 98/2000/XPpro. 2 primary, 1 ext..
I want to reformat XP (the largest partition).
With the new technology in XP, can I do it all through XP? Instead of fdisk? I use partition magic and boot magic to handle the partitions.
I am thinking I can just use the XP disk to achieve this.
thanks

Cool

Yes. If you run NTFS with XP fdisk wouldn't see it anyway.

naw, FAT32, because I share files with 98.
But if I remember right ( theres a contradiction in terms),
NT4 came to a area where you could choose to reformat and in what dr etc...
But its been awhile, so I am not sure. And that was with NTFS.
I was just looking for the easiest way.
thanks
