Such as what? You'll need to be more specific, or Google the procedure you
want then come back with particular questions arising. Without a framework,
I'd just say: ensure you have backups of your data. Set your BIOS to boot to
CD first. Insert XP CD. Turn on computer; press a key to boot to CD if
prompted. Follow the directions to partition & format the drive, and install
Windows as desired. Copy over data from backup.

If you're after a discussion of the merits of restoring versus a full
reinstall - well, if it's a new HD, you can't reinstall anyway, nor can you
use XP's System Restore, if that's what you meant...

After backing up any data you wish to transfer to the new OS
installation, simply boot from the WinXP Home installation CD. You'll
be offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as
part of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order
of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

Then the backed up data can be restored and applications
re-installed from their original installation media.
