Yes you can, have a look here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...onvertfat.mspx
I think Incog wants to do as stated above and wipe the whole HDD. Is it an upgrade version of XP or a whole product?

If its the update then you generaly need to upgrade it over the old version and then do as you are about to and wipe the whole HDD - thats what I had to do with my Nans when I used the upgrade version.

Follow Movedgoalposts instructions and you shouldn't go too far wrong
