re-formating with xp

[jen]

does anyone know how i can reformat my hard drive with XP?
with Millenium I used the system restore disc. and it gave
me the option of do do a clean sweep over the hard drive.
But i cant figure out how to do this with XP. I tried and
it deleted the programs i had downloaded. but my docs. and
some games i had installed were still there. i need to
totally clean the hard drive. any ideas?
thanks

The XP CD is bootable and has all the tools you need. Set your BIOS to boot
from the CD first, then boot from the XP CD and follow prompts.
