format the slave drive.

then, use this boot disk (http://csislabs.palomar.edu/Student/Utilities/boot622.exe) to start your computer into DOS mode, and type this command:

fdisk /mbr

hit enter, remove the disk and reboot.

cpu! you of all people should know there is an easier way! hell... you tought me how to do it! all you need to do is delete everthing windows installed on that partition, then right click my computer > Advanced > Settings under startup and recovery > then under 'default operating system select windows xp

hehe...
btw, when you boot up next time, the dual boot screen will (probably) still be there. if so, then just run the command fdisk /mbr as cpu said
