You don't need to reformat your drive.

If you want to use VM, and you have an Apple drive, update the drivers
using the HDSC Setup which ships with System 7.0.  If you don't update
the drivers, then you can't run VM.  Everything else works fine.

You can just install system 7 in your 80meg drive without reformatting
the drive.
