Reformatting the main partition

[pmkenny1234]

I've got a Mac Pro (early 2008 edition) and I installed Windows 7 via boot camp. I no longer use the OSX on the main partition because I boot OSX on this computer from an external drive.

I would like to format the main partition (where my old OSX is) so I can use it for file storage from both OSX and Windows, but I'm afraid I might screw up the boot capabilities by doing so. Can anyone confirm that my Windows 7 boot camp partition will still boot successfully after formatting my old OSX partition to FAT32 (or whatever makes the most sense)?

If you just format the OS X partition, there won't be any issues. It can still boot into Windows just like before

That worked! Thank you for the help. I'm always nervous when I'm messing with bootable drives. Now to actually use all that previously wasted space. ;-)
