Fresh install of xp PRO. How do I do this?

[imperfectcircle25]

What do I have to do to do a fresh install?? Do I just format the hard drive and restart with the XP disk inserted?? Is it that simple or is there more to it?
thanks

Do not format! Put in your cd and boot up. When you reach the point where the install wants to work on your hd, kill the existing partition; recreate and format (NTFS is encouraged).

If you want to do a fresh install, ja, just stick in the CD, reboot, and follow the bouncing ball.
