Boot into Windows, select that partition, and format it for use with Windows. There's help documents available on the Microsoft site that describe how to do this.

Don't forget to boot from your Windows XP CDROM into recovery mode and run /fixmbr to overwrite the Linux booloader.

Tons of articles on the net about this.. Google will locate them for you.
