you need to find format.com (should be in C:/windows/system32 and copy that to your boot floppy. when you boot, no need to go to your c drive just type thusly:
A:\>format C:
(i.e. just type "format C:" )

Just reinstall Windows, the setup program will allow you to format the drive/partition.

or go to "My Computer" right-click your "C:" drive and click "format".
