Having problem doing a fresh install of xp

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Currently my pc is having a dualboot between xp and
linux. When I try doing a fresh install of xp, during the
setup I was given 3 option

1) Setup windows xp on selected item, press enter.
2)Create partition in the unpartition space, press C.
3)Delete selected partition, press D.

And also the following:

C: partition 1 NTFS 17469mb
E: partition 2 unknown 102mb
partition 3 unknown 11304mb
partition 4 unknown 447mb

And when I choose D to delete selected partition, I was
only given the option to delete partition 1 which is xp,
it seems as though I was not given the option to delete
linux as well, so how am I going to do a fresh install,
making sure everything is remove?

Did you use your cursor keys to select a partition, then choose "D" to
delete it?
