What to do after running Active@ KillDisk

[rogue_psyche]

I'm planning on running <a href="http://www.killdisk.com/">Active@
KillDisk</a> in order to wipe my hard drive clean and then reinstall
Windows XP.

However, I want to be sure that an "empty" disk can still perform the
necessary prodedures to partition and format the hard drive and install
Windows XP as long as I have the Windows XP install disk.

Please make note of anything I would have to do after i wipe the drive
in order to get Windows up and running again.

Thanks!

Windows XP can kill the partitions and do practically the same thing (just
not as thoroughly) anyway.
It can also create partitions where none exist.
Just boot from it.

Have all your CD Keys/installation media for programs, backups of files,
emails, documents, pictures, favorites and so on - etc. Hardware drivers
would be a good idea. Service Packs and application patches as well.
