reformat and make sure you do a destructive reforamt. otherwise all your programs are backed up, basically doubling the amount of harddrive used.

Just put the xp cd back in. When it comes to the partition space, look for the option that says "format drive." You probably hit f or something. I haven't done it in a long time. When is asks how to partition the drives, just make it the biggest possible.

on startup hit f11 whenit says to, and go from there. different comp companies have different ways to do it.

When prompted select "New/Clean install". Select the large partition from the list and say "Format NTFS" and it SHOULD wipe everything before doing the install. Say no to any requests to backup
