is it a full version or upgrade XP Cd? full version should be able to boot up from CD/DVD Rom not unless there scratches that might affect the boot sector of the media.
correct me if im wrong...but formatting from the OS cd doesnt really do a full format does it? i find it still have a couple of windows settings there if i do that.
i usually take the hdd outof the pc, use the external drive to format the thing w the laptop. den put back and re-install the OS like a brand new system.

Depends on how you do it, for me I will format the partition again totally, else it will install over the existing OS on the system. Else I will delete the parition and create it again, thus I will be sure the system will format the partition before installing.
