Answer
If you get a program like Partition Magic (I don't remember where you get it at the moment), you can repartition your hard drive. I've never used it first-hand, so I'm not absolutely sure if it reformats, but it will let you repartition it. Can't you just put in the Windows XP install (Update/Clean Install) CD and reinstall it that way?
Answer
use a windows 98 or ME boot disk Bootdisk.com
Answer
Yup it is totally possible and quite simple. All you have to do is pop your WinXP installation CD in your CD-ROM and then restart your computer. After that, the CD will give you choices if you want to format your drive or some other stuff.
It's a tiny bit confusing because at the beginning, it doesn't ask you straight out if you wanna format your comp. I think it asks if you want to create a new partition or something. Later on it will give you the choice to format.
