I’m planning to get rid of my primary OS hard drive… I never really installed a new hard drive and putting an OS on it… I did put in brand new hard drives for storage use only, mostly externals. I have reformed a few times on my own. Now installing a hard drive completely unused and installing my OS… how?

This is the hard drive I’m planning to get, and running my OS on.
Also I’m going to install XP Home as my OS.

If you're re-formatted your PC in the past it's pretty much the same deal... Hook it up, slip in your OS disc, format the drive, install Windows as usual.
 
It'll be part of the Windows install process, if it's a new drive there's nothing to clean, it'll just be a matter of creating a partition and Windows will give you the option to create a partition the size of the entire drive or adjust it...
 
ahhh I see now... so just pop in the CD and run it as a normal install/reformat.
