Formatting is a bit overdone.
If the HD contains other stuff besides the OS which you want to (and legally can)
pass on to the new owner and you can't uninstall XP and go back to the previous OS,
I'd boot the laptop from one of the many Linux boot disks out there and delete the
windows folder. From a legal point of view that's all you need to do.
Does M$ provide a tool to deactivate a copy of XP? If not, they should. After all,
it was their decision to keep the OS and the user data folders (my documents, my
pictures, etc.) on a single partition by default.
