Hi,

Boot the WinXP CD, start setup. Remove the existing system partition, then
create a new one and proceed with formatting and installing.

Greetings --

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.)
