Hi
Yes, of all have you got the sony xp cd and its drivers cd?
You will need to go to the bios and change how the system boots, change it so that it boots for CD or dvd drive.
The the xp cd in the drive and reboot you system, once it boots it will boot from the cd or dvd drive. it will ask you to press any key to continue, thats it. Just follow the prompts!
Remember to back up you data!!

How to format sony vaio pcg-4 series

Boot from the "System Restore" CD-ROM.
One of the "setup" options for XP (or for Vista) is to "format" the entire disk-space, before continuing with the re-install.
