OK if this what you are after boot to the XP cd and use the tools in that.
You could still use the win98/ME boot floppy but would need to delete the NTFS partition using fdisk before being able to set up a new partition and format that. (Check you can boot to the XP cd though as an install can be tricky from DOS.)
If you have Partition Magic pro that will also let you carry out a format by using the floppy version of that too.
Hope that helps
