How do I do a Clean Install of Windowsxp? Details inside

[ohall]

Hi

I know this is very basic for alot of you, I am very new to computers and I
am trying to save money by doing it myself. Basically what i want to do is
reinstall windows xp professional from scratch, I don't care about backing
up any files, i just want to do a fresh install or should i say reinstall. I
don't have a clue as to how to proceed. At the moment i have my hardrive
partitioned into two parts, with windows98 installed on the smaller drive,
however I am not interested in keeping 98, i just want one drive with XP
professional. Would I use a boot disk and then format ? no clue please
help
