Firstly, you will need your Windows installation disk. If you so not own one, burn one to a USB/DVD from the internet. When you have the disk, Run the installation from the disk. To do this: Start > My computer > Now click on the DVD/USB you put/have the disk on. Look for a file called Setup.exe. Run that and follow the on screen instructions.
Just be sure to do a clean install and NOT a upgrade.
