in the old days yes, but i doubt Windows will let you format the drive while it's running. your best bet is to get an XP or Vista CD from a friend and boot to it. the Windows installer will have options to format your drive and then you can do a clean install right after
EDIT: just so you know, formatting a hard drive erases everything, making it unusable unless you have an operating system to put on it. so i wouldn't do anything until you get a Windows disc
