If you dont mind loosing all of the data on the drive, simply reformat the disk - google for more info.
Failing that simply install a new OS as a dual boot system, transfer your files then wipe the original partition.

You'll need to offer a little more.
What OS are you removing, what are you putting on.
Have you backed up your data?
You can keep you existing OS and have a dual boot.
Anyway, it's easy, say it's XP Home to XP Pro.
Pop the CD in, re-boot the machine, press boot from CD and follow the on-screen instructions.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO WIPE YOUR DATA OFF
And if you do a full format/install, I hope you have your application CD's to hand and they are compatible with whatever OS you plan to put on.

Just run the install process for your new OS - it will walk you through reformatting and repartitioning your drive (if it needs to) and your old OS will be gone if you do it right.

Format hard drive, if you can't do that delete partition.
