Hi acmagician! Welcome to G2G!
When reinstalling Windows XP, it is ALWAYS a good idea to delete the current partition and then create a new one and format that new partition using NTFS, but NOT NTFS (QUICK)!.

So when asked if I want to delete the NTFS partition, say yes and move on with the reformat/reinstall?

You are never asked if you want to delete the partition, but rather you are shown a screen with the current partitions on the hard drive and you are able to hit D to delete the currently highlighted partition. Once you have deleted all the partitions listed and have only unpartitioned space listed, you hit C to create a new partition and then you can go ahead and format the newly created partition.
