Place your XP CD in the CD drive. Reboot your computer. If it boots to the
CD you just have to follow the on-screen instructions. If it boots to the
original Windows, Reboot again and enter your bios (Systems vary but hit Esc
or Del, or F1 or F2 or Ctrl + Alt + S upon the initial screens) and change
your 1st boot device to your CD Rom drive. Save changes and exit. This
will reboot and read from your CD Drive.

Boot from the XP CD and follow the prompts.

Hi Kim -

If you perform a fresh install of Windows there is an option to format the
drive. If you have any questions on how to do this, please little 'r' me.
