New Hard Drive Install

I have a Dimension E520, dual core processor system running Windows XP Media Center. I sold my 160 Gig hard drive and have a new 320 gig drive; it's already physically installed. To get it up and running, do I merely boot it up the first time with the Dell OS disk in the disk drive? Or am I missing something?
 
Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you want a clean install. If so, yes, just boot from the Windows CD and go from there. You can partition and format the drive as part of the install.

You can use either of these Reinstallation Guides.
