Don,

You want to remove all the partitions and get back to a Microsoft MBR.

A quick search of google for "reset mbr windows xp" gives
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Uninstalling_the_Boot_Manager_GRUB_from_the_MBR

The summary - Boot from your favorite Windows of your choice CDROM or
floppy.  Get to a command prompt.

Once you get to the command prompt, use fdisk to remove all the
partitions.    Use fdisk to reset the MBR, 'fdisk /mbr'.

Create your new partitions, and install OS of your choice.

Here is a link to the procedure at opensuse.org
