You can't delete windows xp from Add-Remove programs!
Insert your LINUX cd into your cd-rom and restart you computer.Be sure that your cd is bootable and your cd-rom boots before your HDD. When asking if you want to boot from cd-rom press YES. Your Linux should ask you now what you want to do. Be sure to check the option to format your harddisk to delete windows.

Insert XP CD mutually as commencing XP booting will initiate a million) click on installation XP Now it is going to allow u understand partitions of ur hard disk. If u prefer to eliminate XP from C: (frequently) . 2) click in this partition. 3) permit it "rapid erase". 4) Reboot gadget and eject CD 5) Now u don't have Window XP I advise u to go with it as superb answer as there won't be any option way.

You cant uninstall winxp from add remove programs unless you have upgraded from win98 to winxp.
if you want to have your existing drives you should install Linux with Kernel 2.6.
This version of kernel linux can understand every file formats you have ever heard include NTFS.

You might want to learn basic computing concepts first, before installing Linux.

if you do not know enough to answer this question yourself you are not able to install linux and use it. so leave XP on your system.
you better have all your linux drivers to each of your components before you start or you have will be screwed.
