The easiest way, if you are using a windows OS, is to insert the Windows CD, reboot the computer from the CD and the option "Format and install Windows" will come up.

This is an ideal time to install one of the free operating systems. You can dual boot them with your current windows OS. Also once you install one of them you have access to over 5,000 free programs from the open source community. Get UBUNTU or XUBUNTU.
