If you're truly paranoid about fucking up the format ( I know I would be ) just stick it on an online wallet for a short while while you format, that way you can clear out absolutely everything without being worried about accidentally losing your Bitcoin, for obvious reasons don't keep the money in an online wallet for longer than a day and just send it back to your wallet once you re-install everything.
I personally would be too worried about fucking up the process so this is what I'd do, you could experiment with a tiny fraction of a Bitcoin and see how it works so you don't have to store it online next time.

How do you view this seed and code once Electrum wallet is open ?
Under the program window, look for an icon that shows a picture of a germinating seed. It will prompt you for a password though before you can view the seed
