I believe when you start to install XP or any other OS it will ask you if you want to reformat if their isn't anything on it.

if you want to format first get a DOS boot disk -Goolge for one - and then use that to wipe the drive

just put the cd in and boot from it, you will have the option to do a complete format before the install.
