*Warning - you will lose all data*

Boot to the xp cd and follow the on-screen instructions. The cd is bootable
and has all the tools to format and install.

Or,

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

Just boot from the Windows XP CD ROM.
You will be able to reformat the hard disk as part of the setup process.
Just follow the onscreen instructions.

It takes special hoses and a very potent solvent to flush
Windows XP correctly. It would be in your best interest
to take it to a PC shop to have it flushed.

If you feel you have to (don't treat it as routine maintenance), You do
it as part of a reinstall of the system after booting the XP CD direct.
Enter Setup, and after the license agreement take New Install. When it
asks you to confirm where, hit ESC; select and delete the current
partition and make a new RAW one to be formatted at the next stage

The important point is the delete. Without that it will just go ahead
and make a new install over the top of the old one

You will need to get all the updates over again, including SP1 if that
is not incorporated in your CD, and make *sure* you have the firewall
enabled before you ever go on line to get them - even for a minute
