You can boot with your XP CD (if your BIOS allows booting from CD) and
format C: that way. Check your BIOS settings to see if it allows CD
booting.

If you are installing xp on the drive after format then just insert the xp
cd and follow the onscreen propmts it asks if you want to format the drive.
