Formatting HD on Laptop

Hi,

I have acquired and old Toshiba laptop from work, and want to be able to format the Hard drive, and put in a fresh install of XP, at the moment the O/S is Win2000 NT PRO.
When I tried to format the HDD it wont let me as it says there is a partition on the disk, and this cannot be "demounted"... The XP install disk wont overwrite 2000NT, is there any way I can format the HDD and allow a fresh install of XP.

I have saved the drivers for sound and graphics support, are there any other drivers I should salvage from the HD before I format??, and is there a simple step by step process that I can follow? Many thanks
