How do I re-format my hard drive when I'm running WindowsXP?

I know how to do this with Windows98, but there doesn't seem to be any similar way of doing this with XP.

It has to be done from another drive, like a CD or floppy disk or another hard drive. You can't format the drive you are currently on.

If you have an installation CD then boot from that and during the installation process you will be asked if you want to format the drive.
