Format of HDD
 

I have a computer with two hard drives and two os's. The first hdd has a copy of win xp pro on it and the 2nd has a copy of win xp mce. The first hdd has the boot stuff on it and this is the drive i want to format and put a clean copy of xp on.
How would i go about this and still have the boot options at the beginning?
Any help would be appreciated.

Willing to be corrected but using your cd and boot from that to do a full format using setup

yes Boot from cd and do a quick format leaving the partition intact this should keep the dual boot working. Tip save your boot.ini file as is now so if anything goes wrong just inport the data back and this will reset dual boot. As long as the primary is also your system disk you should be fine
