Simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of boot
devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)

I am trying to reinstall XP home edition however F8 doesn't work when I try
to agree with the legal statement at the second or third step. ESC is the
only button that seems to do anything. Suggestions?

Are you using a USB keyboard? If so, is "USB Legacy Support" enabled
in the BIOS? Or, have you tried a different keyboard?
