Default Computer Nerd Help Needed--->>

I'm trying to install a legit copy of XP Media Center edition on my desktop which had a not-so-legal copy of XP on it.

I've saved everything i wanna save and am trying to delete the partition on my hard drive so i can start over completely.

The problem is when i go to storage management i can see the option to delete the partition but it won't let me click on it (its light grey in color).

ive searched all over the internet looking for help but havent found it. any help would be greatly appreciated
