Reformatting a Harddrive

Hi - Happy Labor Day!

I have an old computer that I want to reformat before I give it to someone else. Can anybody tell me how to do this? Do I just put the install CD's in and let it do it's thing, or do I need to do something first?

Thanks for your help!

How old? what OS? Does it have restore CDs? If so, yes just put the first restore cd in and reboot -- then follow the instructions.

Windows XP. It has all the install and setup CD's.

Sorry, just looked again at the CD's and I have a Reinstallation CD. Guess I'll use that. Thanks!
