How do you reformat the C drive if XP is loaded and you
want to reload it onto a clean drive?

Hi,

Boot the CD, start the installer. At setup, remove the existing system
partition. Create a new one from the free space, format and proceed with
installation.

Just boot from the Windows XP CD and follow the prompts for a
clean installation. It will do the reformat for you.
