put the windows cd in and reboot. while the white on black startup text is doing its thing, memory check etc, press the button that calls up the boot options (you gotta be quick, by the time the windows logo appears it's too late and you have to shut down and try again). this is usually F2, F4, F8, delete or escape, it's different depending on your computer, but if you get the right one you might glance something like BOOT==>GO, GO==>startup options, or something like this, but you'll know when you get it because, instead of windows starting, you'll get an option come up asking which you want to boot from, IDE-0 (harddrive), CD-ROM, USB etc. Use arrows to highlight CD-ROM and press enter. the windows setup should launch from the disc and talk you through the rest of the process, giving you options to format, reinstall, repair... if you want a completely fresh windows, format the drive; you will lose all your files and settings on that drive, but otherwise windows can pick up files and settings you don't want from the old installation.

Just put in the window cd-rom and it will walk you through. Microsoft also has a good guide here:
