How to format the disk and reinstall XP without recover disk

[Henry Lee]

hi , I got the problem .
I want to format the HD and reinstalll XP .
But I found out my system recover disk is missing.
My PC just frezzing every 5 mins but I do not want to waste my time on
fixing it.
So I want to just format the hard drive and reinstall everything again.
However , it seems like there is not a easy way to do the job as previous
win98 .. which just put the CD in CD-rom and then it will lead me to the
session of format the hard drive .
Any advice ?

Same with WinXP:
- Pop in your WinXP CD
- Boot from this CD
- Select "Install"
- Allow the disk to be formatted
