You need to explain what you mean by format xp. If you want to change operating systems it is best to format the drive. To do that you will need a program such as partition magic to erase the hdd and format it for new os.

Do a search use google. Most sites have a evaluation version you can try for free. You can also wait and see if any of our other members have other suggestions for you.

You are welcome!:)
A DOS bootdisk has an option to delete non-FAT32 partitions. One of these should be easy to get hold of, a friend may be able to make you one?
Also, you will be able to use it for as long as you need whereas partitiion magic will only as Hardass says be evaluation.
