Here you go...

Reboot the machine.
Go into the bios (probably press F1 but it will tell you on screen)
There will be an option to set CDROM as first bootable device.
Put the XP disc into the drive.
Reboot.
Choose to reinstall operating system.
Choose to format drive.
Install software.

Ta da! Easy as that.

ps People consider capitals to be shouting (and it is damn hard to read!) so knock the Caps Lock off next time :D
