If you get a BSOD when installing windows from the CD, the install CD is broken. You can buy a new one, download a pirated version, or install a different operating system:

If you get a BSOD from something else, remove all disks from the computer, burn DBAN to a floppy, and run on "autonuke" mode for a few hours. All the data will be destroyed and you should be able to easily format it with the install CD:
