In the disk management utility? If you can see the separate partitions you should be able to delete them. If they are all on the same partition you might need to delpart and reformat the entire HDD.

Reformating, will that make me loose the good installation of XP?

go to start, run, type msconfig, go to the boot tab and edit it there

or

go to your system drive, go to folder options, view, show hidden files, and you will find it there. You can open it in notepad and edit.
