I think you would be happiest with a clean install, meaning removing existing partitions and formatting the drives so that XP will install clean.

Use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move your data and settings. It will not transfer applications. You can run the Wizard directly from the XP CD.

The XP upgrade CD will allow an over-the-top installation, but most users have experienced that it is decidedly better to do the clean install.
