C:\ Crash and OS Reload

For XP Home and a brand new C drive, do I need to repartiion the drive to
reinstall from the XP CD, or will the CD install do all the work? Anything
else?

There should be "prompt" screens that appear throughout Windows XP
setup and installation, including ones for fdisk, format, etc. One
might have to do a little bit of work if customization is desired.

Thanks. So plug in new C drive, change BIOS to boot to CD drive, have XP CD
in Drive and that's it to install? Nothing else?

You partition hard drives, not the PC. See link below for various options.
