How can I format a NTSC file system in Windows XP?

Question

I need help. My computer started acting strangly so I wanted to re-install a fresh copy of Windows XP. I ran setup and asked for a full format of the disk thru set-up before the installation. For some reason I got different types of errors and cant get it to run (corrupt kernal, device driver support issues, etc). What I want is to format the disks (I have 2 and windows has run on both at some time) in order to make sure I am starting fresh. I tried the traditional DOS format through a diskette but because I changed to a NTSC file system it wont recognize it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Use the XP CD to make an NTFS (NTSC is a TV system in USA), insert CD with BIOS set to boot from CD, follow prompts to elete and remake partition and install

Your laptop might desire to have comprise a "gadget restoration disc" or a further categorized CD/DVD. This disc, once you boot your laptop from it, will reinstall your working gadget.
