Have you tried changing the HD boot order in the BIOS? Change it to the second drive and when it boots up to WinXP you can format the first drive...

Or better yet, just change the second drive to Master and the first one to Slave. This means swapping the IDE connectors on both drives and changing the jumpers accordingly. Some HDs have the jumper configuration printed on the label, or you can just check their manufacturers website.
