Fresh Windows XP Install

Hello,

To do a fresh install of Win XP on my computer that already has Win XP, do I simply load my XP disk in the DVD and let it re-install itself or is there more to it than that?

I do know that I need to backup all the files I want to keep since everything will be wiped out.

Thanks alot,

CFII

Boot with the CD, go into Setup. Delete all partitions then reinstall.
