Do you have windows install media? If so, what you want to do first is back up any documents you have. scan the hell out of them with something like avira (the free one...I've had issues with AVG.) When you're sure everything you want to keep is backed up (documents...don't save programs because those could be compromised), select "delete partition" from the install menu. it'll delete the partition. Then you want to create a new one and format it. If you really want to be safe, delete the partition and format it again. Or get ahold of a linux CD and zero the drive, then format it. But just deleting the partition and reformatting should do the trick.
Then you install windows. It's pretty self-explanatory from then on out. If it's XP, make damn sure you install at least SP2 (which you can download ahead of time and burn to cd) before connecting to a network.
