Need help to format C: drive

[Guest]

I tried to update my computer running Windows 98 to Windows XP. I think I
messed up the partition and can't access any of the old programs I had
previously installed.

I want to start with a clean slate and format the C: drive and then load
Windows XP and the other programs I want to use.

Can someone help step me through the process?

Boot the machine from your WinXP CD, then allow the
disk to be formatted when prompted.
