Personally, before even thinking of installing any windows os, I'd do an install of ubuntu or something like that. This will overwrite the f/s and ensure no remaining virus comes as an added bonus on which version of windows you install.

If you opt to format the hard drive using the "slow" option (as opposed to the "fast" option), then the hard drive is completely zero'd.  There should be no worry of any residual data after a thorough format.
