Hi,
If you are looking to remove the contents of C:\, just boot the WinXP CD and
start the installater. Use the setup options to delete the partition, then
create a new one, format it and proceed to install. This will remove the
contents of C:\ and allow you to start with a fresh install.
Personally, I'd just try and remove the virus, a lot less painful than
starting with a clean installation.
