First make sure you have a starting disk with basic OP (for instance XP or 98) on it.
Than type format c:/u to delete all windows data and all other data from that drive (if c is the drive with windows)
If you have more than one OP on the computer in different drives, do not format c , as all data how to reach other OP's will be erased than as well.

If you want to install any other OP on c do as above, and afterwards restart the computer with the OP CD in the CD drive.

Note : just the "format c: "command will not delete all windows files.

No necessary to delete Windows XP
Just Run Windows XP Bootable CD... from this it will ask to format the disk
