your computer should of came with a reformat disk... use that.

neither your BIOS or drive info are stored on the disk so your fine. if you can get to the command prompt type format c: (but some boot disk lock out this option. I would assume your planning on reinstalling windows so if you are putting on 2000 or XP it has an option in the setup to format the drive once you boot from the CD. hope that helps
