removing Windows ME Partition to intall Windows XP

I am trying to install Windows XP when I get to the partition area it tells
me I can
remove the partitions, or install in a different one. It will not let me
delete the
ME partition and I do not have enough space in the other partition to install
XP.

What can I do since I do want to install XP in the ME Partition

Thank you

It sounds like you put the XP disc in a running installation.
you need to boot fromt the XP cd...
then you should be able to delete any partition you want
