Question about a clean install of XP Home

After backing up my files and folders and downloaded programmes I want to
wipe my disc clean because various keys must be corrupted, judging by my
PC's behaviour lately. (All checks done for Malware/Viruses etc.)
I have the PC manufacturer's OEM XP Home SP1 CDROM only. Dare I do this or
do I need another disc for drivers etc.???

It depends on how the manufacturer set up the Restore CD.
Check your manual and/or contact the manufacturer since they all do it
differently.

help.
