If you feel you must (it is a last resort matter, not routine
maintenance). You do it as part of a reinstall of the system after
booting the XP CD direct. Enter Setup, and after the license agreement
take New Install. When it asks you to confirm where, hit ESC; select
and delete the current partition and make a new RAW one to be formatted
at the next stage
The important point is the delete. Without that it will just go ahead
and make a new install over the top of the old one
