How to cleaninstall WinXP
Hi,
I tried a cleaninstall of WinXP (to get rid of old program files and viruses) from the recovery cd, but even though I chose "delete partition and all data", only WinXP was only replaced - all the old program-files remained on C.
How do I proceed if I want to format C to get rid of all data on C and then install XP from the scatch?
I did activate XP after my first "cleaninstall" - will I face problems if I want to activate XP a second time after the new reinstall?

If you delete your C:\ partition then create a new one, there will be no trace of your earlier installation on the system. See the instructions here. You should not have to activate XP after you reinstall it.
