In a dual boot OS having a linux version and windows xp you may be using Gurub boot loader. Formatting the linux partition will remove the Gurub boot loader. you may not be able to boot without the boot menu.
The solution for this is to,
Boot using the windows xp cd and select repair option from the boot screen. There are two places where you will get the repair option. One is before the agreement screen and another is after the agreement screen.
Repair option before the agreement screen provides dos interface, select this and select the windows installation by entering a number and provide the password.
Here use the command: fixmbr
ignore the warning, you should listen to the warning only if you lost the boot screen due to some other reason's.
