Any installation disk will work you just need the formatting tool that they provide. Just reformat that part you don't want. Ubuntu is nice though because its smaller disk size and its livedisk is awesome. And if you only have 40gb of space then go ahead and install ubuntu.

@incadude: waitwut?

I was just saying boot into a Ubuntu Live CD, and delete the folder.

@bloodangel: download Unet Bootin, and use a 2BG+ flash drive

Why do you want to get rid of Windows XP without formatting?

It might be stopping you because the files are locked, and for good reason...

Backup the data you wish to keep. Format the disk. Install whatever the hell you want. Restore your data. Profit.

If it has windows in it then it must be a partition. It wouldn't be a file. That's why a reformatting tool must be used.

If he's not actually using the OS, it shouldn't be locked.  Though thinking about it, it could be an ACL conflict, in which case, taking ownership of the files may work.

Though if it's his install of Windows...
