Which drive are you trying to format? Drive C:? Trying
to cut off the branch you're sitting on?

If you want a clean installation then you must boot
your machine with your WinXP CD, then select "format"
when prompted.
 
You may not be able to re-format the boot drive (C:) from with-in Windows
XP. You must use the XP install CD, as per the previous response suggests.
