Use the WinXP CD and set your bios to boot from your CDROM. The XP CD is bootable and will allow you to partition and format your HDD. Carefully read the menu selections as the CD boots up and you should have no trouble partitioning, formatting, and then installing XP. Note: You can format in FAT32 or NTFS, NTFS is "a more stable" format for XP according to most I have read.
