Hello Halo, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It depends on what type of Vista installaion DVD you have, but this will show you how to with a Upgrade version or Full version retail or retail OEM version.

If you have a OEM Recovery Vista installation DVD, then it will automatically format the hard drive during installation.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

It's also ALLOT easier than it used to be too!
Pretty much all done or you and you just need to be able to follow the directions given during the process, and they're easily followed. About all you really need to be able to do is recognize which partition you want the OS installed onto, and then just follow the directions given by the install DVD or the OEM reinstallation disk.

mate you gave up too easy! Although it's perfectly understandable wanting to stick with something familiar
