Won't work. I'm guessing your 2nd partition is D:. If so, XP expects everything to be on D: so if you were to get rid of C: and D: became C:, it wouldn't work any more.

Your only choice is to backup your data, delete both partitons, create one single partiton, install XP and restore your data. Once you have your data backed up, you can do the deletion and creation of partitions from the XP install CD.

If you wanted to keep C: and merge D: into C: then there are ways to do this.
