Hi,

Boot the WinXP CD, start the installer, do NOT hit "r" to enter the Recovery
Console. At a point after the license screen, you will be offered to repair
the existing installation, instead choose to delete the existing system
partition. Then create a new one from the free space, format it and proceed
with the installation. All existing files will be gone.
