Just boot from the Windows XP CD (change the BIOS boot order if necessary to
accomplish this) and follow the prompts for a clean installation (delete the
existing partition by pressing "D" when prompted, then create a new one).

You can find detailed instructions here:

I'm sure you don't really want to "crash" your computer. I think you want to
do a clean install. If this is correct, see:

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#reinstall_Windows - What you
will need on-hand

If I'm incorrect and you really *do* want to "crash" your computer, take it
out to a deserted parking lot and smash it with a truck. Wear safety
glasses.

Unplugging it has a good success rate.

Just run Windoze without any firewall. It's sure to crash in no time at all.

If you really are determined to "Crash" your computer, then
you should take it to a high rooftop and let 'er fly.
Or Beat it severely with a Large hammer, club, stick, brick or cinder block,
or hook it to 240 volts (repeatedly). or crash it with a truck, car, boat,
plane.
or give it to a teen ager to run games (sure fire method), or turn it off
and on several times in a row.

Or simply connect to the Net without a firewall installed and let mother
nature do what it normally does with a Windoze box. Shouldn't take longer
than a few minutes to compromise and crash the system.
