you can reinstall it to your current partition and overwrite you current one, or you could install it to your E: drive, but i suggest copying your files to your other drive incase it deletes them.

In addition to Andrew's information, as long as there's at least one partition, XP's setup will call the first one it sees C. So don't have any USB drives or flash drives connected at the time of install.

During setup, you'll see both your partitions. You can delete them (including the first one), combine them...or leave them as is and select the first partition to install. If you already have an OS on that partition, delete it then recreate it...or format it using the Quick Format option.
