If you have an install disc turn off your computer and boot it up with the disc in and see what options it gives you. Depending on the disc it may either let you restore to factory settings (if it's like an HP XP disc) or let you format and put a new XP on the drive.
 
started up with:

Official CD inside dvd rom and re-writer ** nothing happened
Copy of another XP CD in both drives ** nothing happened

When you say, nothing happened, do you mean, it didnt read the cd at all and just booted to windows? If so, you may have to switch your booting sequence in bios to cdrom first, but if we go to far into this I don't want to be the cause of wrecking your PC lol

Have you thought about just removing all the programs you don't need and using a program to deleted all the unneccessary garbage you don't want anymore?
 
i wud do this but

i cant start windows up normally i have to use safe mode
:S ill do that bios thing then ill update you
