Boot to a win9x floppy boot disk, run Fdisk, delete partitions, create new
partitions, reboot to boot disk again, run format, (or reboot to xp cd,
format, install xp). Get boot disk here: www.bootdisk.com

Hi!
If you have an original XP CD then there is no need of any floppy as the
CD itself is a bootable one.
Still if you need start up disks ,visit here:-
"Obtaining Windows XP Setup Boot Disks"

I shall suggest you before formatting you please go through :-
"Clean Install Windows XP"
