Reformat question

I have reformatted my XPS710 a couple of times in the past with no real problems. But 1 is driving me crazy.When I reinstall windows xp from the dell operating disk I come to the partition part of the reinstall . The problem is I show 2 partition on my single hard drive ,one that has all of my software on it about 60 plus gigs and one that has about 9 gigs. How do I go about removing that other partition. Basically I want to do a clean slate install of XP.In the past I have not seen or been able to remove both its either one or the other.The 9 gigs  to me is more space I can use.Thanks

    Are you saying you can't remove both partitions by selecting each one at a time and press D on the keyboard during Windows setup, only one or the other, or only your 60GB partition? 

     

     

    Any error message?  Are you using that 9GB right now?  It sounds like a restore partition.
