Just go through the OS installation process again...you'll have the option of wiping the hard drive and installing WinXP again.
If you really want to wipe the hard drive you'll need a zero-fill utility for that. Cricket

If you do a zero-fill, it wipes everything( it just puts zeros on the drive). If you do a XP install, it will do a format over what ever is on the drive.
