Yeh you will have to reformat it which means losing all your data.

You mean re-partition,and yes you will loose all data unless you use some software which i used a while back which lets you change the drive partitions without deleteing the files but i cant remember what it was called.
If you have ms dos based windows (win 98/not xp) then you go into the command prompt and type, fdisk
this will bring you to a partitions screen and let you alter the hard drives

Are you running a Primary Partition with an extended/second partition or are you running a compressed drive?

Taz, buy a portable USB HDD - say 20-40-60gb, and move all your data onto it then format your "old" HDD, and install a op sys and reload the data from the portable USB HDD onto it.
Then you can use the portable as a back up in the future.....
A Portable HDD will only set you back say £90-110.
