You can format it all you want but you'll need an OS to put on it.

 

Contact the manufacturer of your computer for a replacement XP CD.

I'm sorry i wasent clear on my post. I have Windows 98 to install but I cant seem to reformat the hard drive that allready has Windows xp installed on it and I dont have the XP installation disk

Just use the boot disk, run fdisk, and delete the "non-MS" partition.

 

or download the DOS Ultimate Boot CD which has plenty of format/partitioning tools on it.
