How do I delete Windows XP from my C drive?

OS: windows xp
I took my computer to Fry's and they told me I needed to reinstall Windows because of missing/corrupted files etc.

I reinstalled Windows XP on my E drive using the CD because that's the only place it would let me do it. It said I needed to delete and make a new partition on the E drive. Now when I boot I have to choose from two versions of XP before it loads.

The one I just installed on E works just fine, except obviously the sound and stuff doesnt work because it is being used by the previous version of XP that is on my C drive.

When I try to boot into the XP that is on C I get a blank black screen (which was the whole reason I reinstalled in the first place.) So I can't uninstall it from the control panel because I can't even get there.
