I need to format my computer ASAP because I'm pretty sure I'm infested with keyloggers, I just found "Crack.exe" running in my process. Anyway, I need to back up some stuff, any idea how to make a partition?

technically your former OS system is still there after reformatting. You'd need special software to truly erase everything (or a hammer)

really? when i go to reinstal windows it says "format (quick) or format (full)" that doesn't delete everything? Anybody know what software you use to completely annihlate your hard drive? I watch these shows were people get fucked because FBI like finds everything on the hardrive. Not that i have anything illegal, but I do want to completely fuck my hardrive.

Boot & Nuke owns. But when you format it erases everything if you do low-level format. High level format just erases index's. Either way you will not be able to see it and the virus won't either as far as I know.
You can write and rewrite the data over the HDD to get rid of the evidence from machines that can pick up the magnatic fields that is still there. I think government does it like 9 times before they consider it gone, maybe 6.
