PC should detect it automatically (I'm assuming it's an IDE drive if it's only 40Gb), no need for drivers.

Once installed, boot up with the Windows XP CD and install it as normal. You might have to change the boot order in the BIOS so that the CD boots ahead of the HD.

XP install will allow you to format, partition etc.
