the windows OS or windows cd will format it. *The error is probably telling you that it must be converted to NTFS, the current format may be FAT, FAT32 or otherwise.
in XP: use my computer, right click drive select format.
from cd: launch xp install, but only go as far as formatting the drive.
*make sure you select the correct drive.

the installer is part of the xp cd, which you will need if you want to use the cd method. Downloading and copying a windows cd is againts the MS copyright, so that would be a no.
