XP Pro Upgrade vs Full Install ? from Upgrade Disc

I would like to upgrade my laptop from w2K to XP Pro. I
have purchased the upgrade software CD, but want to do a
complete wipe and fresh XP install. When I try, the only
partition I have available for the new XP system is the
same one I have W2K on...now I have both on the same
partition, which is not a great situation. how do I start
fresh, reformatting the drive and installing XP from the
upgrade disc ? Is there a way to reformat and have the
software ask me for the install codes for the W2K system
rather than requiring it be installed on the only
partition ? I don't want both systems on the same laptop.
Thanks...
