Answer 2

I do not think that you can totally erase your Hard Disk Drive and then " download " Windows XP again. The reason why I say this is simple. If you totally erase your Hard Disk Drive then you cannot go to Internet using the same computer to download Windows XP. Moreover why would Windows XP even bother to ask you your name and Registration if you are erasing the Hard Disk drive ?
On the other Hand if you erase your Hard Disk Drive but have an XP Installation CD then all you need to do is to make the CD - ROM drive the first Boot Device and simply insert the Windows XP CD into it. Then you simply reboot the computer. Windows will install itself automatically. You will just have to follow the steps as they appear on the Monitor Screen.
You will surely need the Windows XP Installation Key ( a set of numbers and alphanumeric characters that acts as security to stop piracy of Software ).
