You need to boot from the XP CD. It will then give you the option to format the drive before installation.

Before you think of buying xp remember the new version of vista is about to hit the shops.

kwicky has a good point - assuming you PC is powerful enough to run Vista (XP's replacement), i would wait for that. Its due end of January.
