It would have been quicker to have just reposted to log as I asked by copy & paste than to have explained at length how it is the same!
At this point I would suggest that you run chkdsk /f.
Uh ok my new compile log is:
Compilatore: Default compiler
Esecuzione di gcc.exe...
gcc.exe "C:\prova.c" -o "C:\prova.exe" -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include" -L"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib"
C:\Dev-Cpp\Bin..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2........\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot open output file C:\prova.exe: Invalid argument
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Esecuzione terminata
Make sure you C:\ folder isn't write-protected. I've seen it be that way by default on some computers but that might just be a Vista thing, not sure.
... and the chkdsk result?
I'm not able to insert here the chkdsk /f result but it says nothing wrong with c:\
My c:\ folder is not write protected
To clear up doubts in another area, I would recommend doing a complete/clean
uninstall.
Please note that there are some instructions and guidelines for doing this
in the "Please Read" thread. It is vital that you remove ALL traces of
Dev before you reinstall. This requires you to do things like search for
Dev files, and make SURE that you are looking in hidden system folders.
(Windows search is NOT set up that way by default)
Finally, PLEASE note that the directions are VERY pointed about noting
exactly what you did, and reporting exactly what you did if you are
still having problems. Simply stating something like "I did exactly
what they said" is NOT reporting the exact steps you took.

You still have not responded regarding chkdsk.
Dumping your project in C:\ is just as dumb as C:\Dev-Cpp! Create a new folder!
According to http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1845164&forum_id=48211 the culprit may be the system("pause") call.
OK - when the program is sitting there at the end waiting for user input are you SURE you are at some point giving that input and not just leaving it there - at that point the code is still running! I kind of assumed we'd covered that in the first place, but it seems that may now be the case.
If you want to work around this, simply run the code from a command console window - because your code then runs as a child process, the window will not close on completion.
Give up, use VC++ 2005 Express Edition
Well since the default is NTFS that would count as unusual! ;-) You seem to have omitted an answer to the first question about why you needed to format the drive - although perhaps that is the answer since FAT32 is far less robust and might require a reformat if it were really munged.
Anyway I think we have established from this and at least one other thread that the file system is not the problem, but rather the OS failing to terminate the process or at least failing to unlock the executable after termination. I have never seen this and cannot explain it, and am inclined to assume user error - but for two users to experience identical symptoms, this too seems unlikely. I am stumped.
Have you been monitoring the other forum regarding the apparently similar issue? http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1845164&forum_id=48211 There RDS has reported success after creating a new user profile and installing Dev-C++ to that. Did you install Dev-C++ for "All users" or "Current user" - since it seems to be related to the profile, perhaps there is an issue there. Make sure you blow away all Dev-C++ configuration files stored in all profiles (including All users) before re-installing.
After reformatting did you create new clean user profiles or restore them from backup?
