The above respondent is right.
You can boot with the Windows XP disk and then format whichever drive you want.
You'll find it easier to format with the disk.

You can not format the C: Drive from Windows, as it is used by Windows. If you are planning a reformat and complete re-installation, then format the C Drive with your OS CD, there is a step to partition and format your HDD in all OS installations.
