Yes you can, your partitions should be shown as different drives C, D, E, F, when you format the drive choose the C: drive and format it. One question how did you set up the partitions, with Fdisk or a Partitioning Software like Partition Magic, if you used Partition Magic or another format the partition with Partition Magic or other. Or are you saying you have multiple Harddrives, if you have multiple harddrives I would disconnect the other drives and format the C drive, when you are done reconnect them, less chance of formating the wrong drive that way. Check out my page on Reformating and the Links.
