Removing and Re-Installing XP

Question

Hey everyone,

I just got a computer given to me from a friend. I recently learnt that it has a pirated version of windows XP on it. I would like to purchase a full copy of Windows XP Home edition, however I'm not sure how to go about formatting/getting rid of the windows XP operating system already on the hard drive, then re-installing the new one.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
