Default Repairing a 250gb HDD in laptop

My son has a laptop computer that had Vista and decided to put XP on it, whilst formatting it got to 100% then an error occurred, now it's stuffed!!
I assume that it may be a problem with XP being so old it didn't recognize the large partition, the drive has 2 partitions.
What I would like to do is remove both partitions then create a new one, make it active then format with an NTFS system.
Does anyone know of a program to use or offer advise on some other method to fix this?
