put the cd in and play along with it saying that you want to install it etc.
when it comes to the part asking where you want to install it to select your hdd and look for something like drive options and click format, doesn't take long then you can re-install
if you're on an OEM machine look on the back of the computer for a holographic sticker with your key on it

Dell computers have a feature in which you can system restore in 8 mins (possibly the only good thing about dells).
