I kind of interpreted it as just casual mis-use of the word since he later asked if he'd lose any data...it usually goes without saying that reformatting whacks your OS and data, so I thought he was looking for a less "all or nothing" procedure.
But, whatever solves the problem. As long as he backups the disks he can pretty much re-partition/re-size any way that works and then restore the data to the new partition. That's what we all try for.
Well, since the OP used the term 'reformat' to 1 partition in his post, the easiest way would be to use hr Windows boot disk...
