You can simply format the partition that contains Windows XP Professional
x64 from within Windows XP x86 and have no worries, only thing that would be
left to do is edit the boot.ini so that it will reflect your changes and
boot immediately into Windows x86 with the 30 second delay. The boot.ini
file can be found, right clicking, My Computer on the Start menu, choose
Advanced (tab) under Start and Recovery click "Settings" and click Edit.
