Windows xp start up CD

I have a windows xp system that I want to format the hard drive. When checking on how to do this all the advice on line and from the instruction book that came with the computer states use the windows xp re load Cd. When I had my computer it only came with a System and driver Cd and no re load Cd.The company that made my computer no longer trades. Is there any way I can get hold of a Windows reload CD in order to format it?

The XP InStall CD has the Format tools built in. You have to Boot from the CD. You may need to change the Boot order in the Bios first if You can't do it. Link has info http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000217.htm
