Have you tried to clean the virus first? Reformatting
harddrive is a hardwork and time-consuming. You will loose
all the files if you haven't back-up first. You'll also
have to reinstall all the programs and drivers. Try
visiting the Symantec or McAfee website to get the removal
tool for your virus.

below link for a good explanation on how to clean install XP.
