Put the CD in the drive (make sure BIOS is set to boot from the CD 1st), boot the PC up, & when you get to the section where XP asks you wher you want to install it, highlight your drive (probably C: ), then select the option to format it with whatever you prefer (FAT32/NTFS)

Failing that, when you get to the 'where would you like to install XP?' section, highlight your drive, press D to delete it, then once it has been deleted, press C to create a new drive/partition, & install it there.

HTH.
