All I would like to do is completely wipe off this HDD I have, and merge the partitions. For some reason there are 4 partitions: C D E and F. I'd to have 2 partitions, C and D, and I would like them to be completely empty.

I'd like to have the drive ready for a new installation of windows xp.

Adding some details. Currently have win xp installed, HDD model: WDC WD800BB-32DKA0

Thanks in andvance.
