So if you have your volume ID as unlabeled, leave it that way after to reformat right?

But to be honest, there's no reason to reformat and mess things up. I've reinstalled XP before and NEVER reformatted. All I did wasd rename Windows, Program Files, and Documents and Settings and then reinstalled the OS. That way, I was able to keep all the data on the drive and get back anything I needed.
