While in fdisk delete non-dos partition and then have it show you partitions just to make sure that they are all the way you want. Besides partition Magic cost like $50 and I'm pretty sure you don't want to pay for it.

Your using Windows XP so fdisk wont work too well. Instead, goto Control Panel->Administritive Tools->Computer Management. Select Disk Management. You can now delete/create partitions to your hearts content!
