Here's how my pc is set up:

C: XP Pro partition
E: XP Pro partition

The original installation is on the C drive and the new one is on the E drive. I want to keep the E partition. How do I delete the C partition so I can re-partition it as free space?

I assume each partition has its own installation of XP Pro? On boot, you should get a prompt asking which OS you want to boot to. In your case, they'll be the same. The top one should be the installation you installed last, probably E:. Log onto the E: installation and format C:. You can't format C: while you're actively on it.
