If this is a legal Win XP CD, just boot to the CD and when prompted select a clean install that will first format the drive.

What choices does it give you? I don't recall the specifics. I don't think it says format, but it refers to a full or clean install.

I'm sorry but as Winborg is an illegal version of Microsoft's Windows XP we will NOT help you with this issue.
Feel free to ask about any LEGAL software that you are having problems with

I had a feeling that was the case. which is why I specified if its legal.
