I want detailed instructions on how to format system drive and
reinstall XP with only the XP boot cd and no floppies.

Anyway, what are the side-effects of a wrong install?

You've been given the perfect link for your needs - but I would like to ask
a couple of things:

1) Why do you feel the need to format/install Windows XP again?
2) Do you have all the drivers (hardware) for your system?

I am unsure how you could have a 'wrong install'...
