How to uninstall xp bootloader and all?

I have two hard drives. The one is older and had xp on it. when I got my new one I wanted to try vista but kept the xp. Now I want to try linux or OSx86, but need to safely get rid of the xp copy. My plan was to use the vista cd to format then run the vist cd again to repair. That should reset the boot.ini to single boot instead of dual. Will this leave me with an NTLD error? I do not have a second pc online to search for solutions after I format so could someone double check my method to see if it will work?
