Disk fragment in XP

If I have a hard drive that is purely for data and no registry or
applications exist on it but yet I am reinstalling my OS (Win XP Pro), would
you think it is wise to completely wipe this drive provided I have backups
of the data on it. By wiping and formatting it again in Win XP, doesn't that
start it again back at square one with no fragmentation or can I just simple
not wipe it and run a deep defrag program on it? Suggestions here please?
Plan on starting my upgrade/reinstall tomorrow.
