when you put in the xp disk in and boot up to install, if you just go about installing xp on your computer, you should get a choice to format your drives. to clear everything on the computer (this means all the files), thats what you wanna do, then you can just continue with the xp installation.

i don't know anything about the drivers or the recovery disc though sorry.

It's a good idea to go under control pannel, system, device manager and write down everything that way it's easyer to find drivers for the stuff windows doesn't automatically detect when you're done reinstalling it.
