If you format the partition (which is a part of OS installation), then you will not have any of the applications left.
However... Windows installation program offers an alternative way, in which you overwrite the older installation (more like repair). In that case you will not have to re-install all the applications. There might be few applications which will still require a re-installation.
There are three sides to every argument: Your side, my side and the right side.
(Twisted version).

 Xeno...
I was just trying to help. 
I must have misunderstood, i thought he wasn't getting boot option. I had a similar issue as well, which is why i made those threads "Make bootable CD/DVD"...

Let the XP installation program take care of that. But remember everything will be lost after you have done it. I hope you have already backed up your important data.

I used the Shrink option from within disk management. So what i have at the moment is C: 222GB NTFS Healthy, and 10.81GB Unallocated.
So presumably, when i boot with ubuntu cd, and begin to install, i should see the 10.81GB as an unused partition!? (correct?)
