    If you are reinstalling XP just boot the CD & follow the prompts. XP will do its' own formatting. Here is a good guide to either a Clean or Repair install depending on your choice:

    Just to Add:
    MS do a set of 6 floppy's you can use to set up your PC for XP install.
    You need the ones for your CD version of XP, e.g. No SP, SP1 or SP2

    As a little extra advice get these now if you need them and put onto a CDR for installing before you go on the net.

    Spybot Search and Destroy
    Zonealarm (Firewall)
