It sounds as if you're trying to install WinXP from within itself
and you're trying to format the drive containing the system volume
from within WinXP. You can't. This would be the computer equivalent
of sawing off the tree limb you're sitting on, and WinXP is "too
smart" to allow this.

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.)
