what do you mean by delete everything? you mean the operating system or the contents of the partition? XP has a reinstall option or a repair option if you have the proper cds or net access.
Sounds like you have a problem with some content?

- Buy a new hard drive
- Boot from CD and DELTREE /y *.*
- FDISK - delete all partitions

....none of those use format
