Make sure that you have backed-up all of your files first.
Then insert the Windows XP disc, and reboot your computer. Enter your BIOS - it will tell you which key to press while it is booting up, but it is usually the DEL key - and change the boot order of your drives to use the CD/DVD ROM. Then save and exit.
Assuming you have done this correctly the computer will then ask if you wish to boot from CD. Allow this to happen and you will be presented with the Windows XP options. You can then choose what kind of installation you wish to perform (repair, full, etc) and which hard drive partition to use.
If you decide to reformat your main Windows partition - which I recommend, if you have backed up your files first - it can take a little longer to reinstall depending on the size of the disc.

You need the XP disc and you also need the device drivers for your pc.
It will take about 2 hours to reinstall all the above. You should then update Windows and all application software as well.

Just put in your disk that came with your computer. It will take a hour or so just to install windows again. You will have to get all windows updates and install preventive software.

Set BIOS to boot from CD first, pop in CD, start PC
Should take around 30-60 mins
