Reformatting is easier than you think. Assuming you've backed up what you need you simply put in your Windows/OsX/Linux CD and reboot the PC. If it asks you whether to boot from CD then select yes and then run through the instructions as it guides you through. Part of this will be a partition manager where you need to format the hard drive and partition it if needed. Personally, go with 3 partitions:

1 for Windows XP

1 for Mac OSx86

1 for Data

You'll probably only want 1 or 2, and the simplest option is definately 1. Format it to NTFS (Full) if you're installing windows and let it do its thing for a while. When it's completely you'll need to install anti virus, firewall etc and reload all of the data you backed up before you started.

If you dont have a windows disk, look in the usual places for an "unattended" install. These are very usefull ;)
