If you are wanting to format the main drive (C: drive) and reinstall Windows:
Put the Windows CD into you CD drive
Reboot from the CD so that the Windows setup begins
After you have done the F8 to agree, you will be asked about partitions and formatting the hard drive
Format the drive
Let the Windows install complete
If you are wanting to format another hard drive, not the main one, you can do that from within windows by right-clicking on the drive and selecting "format" from the menu.
