you dont need a bootdisk.. just toss the CD in the CDROM.. reboot.. goto BIOS, and set your cdrom as the first device in boot order. reboot again and delete your C: partition, then create the new partition to proceed to install.. it will do a format when creating the new file system NTFS

Alex, is XP on a partition or a disk? if it's ona disk just put it in your cd rom and make sure it looks for the cd rom in bios. if partition, hit F8 after the bios loads and it should give you an option for recovery.

good luck
