i think it's drivermax for backing up your drivers, and if you're wiping your computer, your windows files aren't important. you're going to end up reinstalling them after you format.

Wiping your computer is called reformatting...
Reformatting permanently deletes your files ff your Hard drive.
You will need an external device such as a USB Thumb Drive/External HDD/2ND HDD to backup your files..
Then you will need a XP/Vista disc to reinstall and reformat windows....

Or you could get Partition Master, which I think you can create a new partition with, and then you can format C:, and have your important files, driver etc. on the D: partition.
