Killdisk should do a zerofill format of your drive leaving it considered "RAW" to the OS. XP will consider the disk brand new out of the box, never been used and will guide you thru partitioning the drive and formatting it. I am quite certain you will have no problems if you killdisk the disk first. I do this regularly. IMO go for it!
