I have a home computer that I bought to try Linux. first I want to reformat the HD so it is completely empty, it has xp now, then start from scratch. But I have not been able to format the HD. I have used all the tricks I know.

When you go installing a distro of your choice, you will have the ability to completely format your hard drive, primarily because linux itself uses different file systems.
