Reinstall Nightmare HELP

[Guest]

Ok heres the problem. I've tried to do a clean reinstall and cant delete the partition windows is on. It says can't delete partition it contains temporary set up files that are required to complete the installation. So what do i do.?? I'am using the cd install that came with the computer. The computer came with xp. Also when i turn on my compter i have three opions to choose from to start window. One is good, one does nothing and the other is a set up xp. Which takes me to a blue screen and says insert install cd. How do i get rid of the other to opertaing systems and just leave the good one
Please help if you can
Thank you
