Format doesn't kill a partition?

My previous setup was Ubuntu Linux and Windows 2k. . yestarday I made a new install of win xp because I got sick of the plain 2k look. But it didn't erase the partition? I tried installing again, same thing, win2k is still there (with windows xp on another partition of course).

If you do not have anything important data in your partitions, you can delete them during XP setup.
