Yes, you'd have to install from scratch. Back up everything you need to back up. If I remember correctly, selecting "custom install" will save some of your program files in a "windows.old" folder. From there, there are certain ways you can recover some of that stuff. I can give you some guides if you want.
Pop in the CD and when you start your computer press either F8 or ESC. It should leave you to the boot menu. From there, pick the CD, and the rest is self explanatory. You might want to look into the difference between "Custom", "Upgrade", and "Clean install" (I think those are the exact options the CD gives you. Too lazy to put it in and check.)
Pretty sure you can custom install, but if you don't care about loosing everything then stick with formatting. It's better to start off fresh to avoid problems.

Sorry for the questions, just curious.
