You know wether you do a quick or full after the format the data will be cleared.
-Both: Clear data from the disk
-Quick: Just clears data
-Full: Checks disk for bad sectors and clears data
Do you have another cd drive on the computer?
If so try it.
or
If you have a floppy disk use this to make 6 XP boot disk boot from disk and install.
