To wipe the HD, boot from the windows install cd and follow the prompts to delete the existing partition, then install windows in the blank space left. Use NTFS (not FAT) when asked how you want to format the drive. I would skip the NTFS (quick) and spend the time to let it do a true format. Should take 45 minutes on your 20 gig drive. Post up if you get stuck.
To reinstall Norton, you'll want to refer to any email they sent you when you bought it. They should have a license number or somthing in that email you could use to reinstall it. Hopefully Norton will allow you to re-download the installer.
