Over-writing WinXP Pro with new installation?

Hi all,

This is probably just me being dozy, but hopefully someone can help.
I've had loads of problems with my copy of Windows XP Pro (eg the system crashing when I try to access the properties of my LAN!), mostly involving it crashing, so I've decided to try and re-install the system. However when I tried that it decided to install it on my second hard drive rather than allowing me to over-write the original installation!
After a bit of hassle I appear to have removed the second copy of Windows from my second hard drive, however I am still stuck with the original problem - it keeps crashing because it's not over-written the original!
Anybody got any ideas on how to solve this?

cheers,
Jon
