    That should do it. make sure you have drivers for everything as these can sometime be a pain to find. You should be ready to roll after that.

    Just use the Windows XP CD to format and reinstall. Have the disc in when the computer boots up and it will load setup (you might have to change the boot order to have the CD/DVD ROM drive start first in the BIOS menu).
