You worry me with a question like this. The answer is boot the installation cd into single user mode and then you can reformat your primary disk to your heart's content. Do have full backups that you trust. An error can easily result in the loss of all data on the disk. It is unlikely (but possible) that there is unused free space positioned correctly for something like this to work.
