Reinstalling W2k

I seem to be having problems restoring my system back to the original configuration it was in when it was shipped.  I have a GX250 and am running W2K + SP2.  I have the CD and when I used it to do a reinstall, it didn't format the hard drive as I anticipated.  Am I missing a step?  Is there some step that I am missing.  Just to clarify, I want a full system restore including a full format of my hard disk and all the garbage that has accumulated over the past three years.
 
I appreciate any help anyone my have to offer!

Take a look at this guide from Black Viper:

He also offers a Services Configuration Gude to help your machine to run lean 'n mean and secure:

Remember Microsoft's FDISK? That will wipe and format your hard drive in a jiffy. Here's a link to a guide:

and Black viper has one too:
