To Perform a Clean Installation from CD you need to first make sure your BIOS is set to be able to boot from CDs (they usually are). You should then insert the Windows XP CD in your primary CD-ROM drive and restart your computer. Once the computer restarts you will see an option (right in the beginning before Windows starts) to "Press any key to boot from CD..." At that instant you should press any key (you have about 5 seconds). You will know if you are successful when you see a blue screen that says Windows XP Setup. Once in there follow instructions to perform a New Installation. Delete your current partition and create a new one when given the option to, and re-format the drive for FAT32 (Full). Note: If you have an upgrade copy of Windows XP you might be prompted to insert a copy of Windows98/WindowsME Full edition to continue with setup. Just follow the instructions on the screen from then on.
