a diff. drive/partition? or overwrite your current instal. (which i wouldnt recommend)

*some programs might need a proper installation

if its the only drive youve got..
overwrite your current installation and backup your stuff and then do a clean installation?

thats what i would do

all downloaded programs=installers?
or the programs itself already installed?

you could do that but my guess is that a lot of programs wont work without a proper (re)installation
(dlls/registery/services etc)

then start backing up stuff to your D drive xD? and get a format/fresh windows installation on your C

Perform a Windows XP repair imo > will keep everything you had b4 + fix your system.

Oh lulz, O/S: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium since you didn't mention it I thought you have xp installed, now install xp on another partition and here you go.

it's possible, but you'll have a completely fucked up pc and i won't recommend it. just save whatever you want to save to a seperate drive/usb device and format.
