I have got way to much crap on my mac PC with bootcamp. I need to reformat this baby.

How do I go about reformatting boot camp? I'm used to just using my bootable CD in windows.

That depends on what level of zorching you're looking for. If you just want to kill off the data on the Windows partition, then you can go right ahead and use your Windows disk; reformat the partition, and reinstall as you see fit. Just be careful that you don't delete any of the partitions, as that has the potential to create problems... ergo, Windows might not successfully boot again afterwards.

On the other hand, if you're talking about zapping both sides (Mac and Windows) then you'll need to start that off from the MacOS disk: I believe it's the "Erase and reinstall" option that you're going to be looking for.
