I would open My Computer whilst in XP, right click on the drive it is on & Format. You would then need to edit your boot file.

John i am not sure if the Linux drive would be shown on My Computer to be formated... Raju you may need to Right Click on My Computer and Click on Manage and then Go to Disk Management and then format the Unknown Partition (which is ur Linux Partition)... Now, Regarding the GRUB... It might give you some Problems, and incase it does, just go to the Recovery Console of Windows XP and use the bootcfg /rebuild command and that should fix it... But before you do the Formating read the Links posted by John too, about the editing of Boot.ini... Nick My PC never Crashes nor does it have Bugs - It just develops random Features at times.
