Do you have a boot disk?

If so, all you do is put it in your CD ROM and when your computer restarts, there should be a thing that says Press F1 or DEL or something to enter setup. When you are in there, you sort the booting sequence so it reads CD ROM first, then removable drives, then hard drive and whatever else you have. Then restart. It will see it has a boot disc in the CD ROM and you hit the first option to go into setup (You can also download Boot Disk's from Windows Website that you can write to floppies). From there it will ask you if you want to re-format and you click yes.. Then it formats and then it will setup Windows.

i did this recently, you have to make a windows startup disk. I used this website as my guide, I found it very straight forward and easy! http://pcsupport.about.com/library/weekly/aa082602c.htm
