Default Hard drive problem

I need to format Windows XP. Easy business. Currently have two partitions:
  • C:\, 100GB, has windows, apps, games, etc (I named it 'SYSTEM')
  • D:\, 200GB, has my music, vids, files, etc (I named it 'STORING')
So I take anything from C: which I can't afford to lose, dump it in D:, put the windows disc in and delete C:, reinstall Windows and off I go... except...

When I put the windows disc in and it shows me the list of partitions to install to, the list shows up as (roughly):
  • STORING(C) - 200GB
  • SYSTEM(D) - 100GB
Eh? Deleting the current windows install means I'd be reinstalling windows to a drive called D: which isn't really an option, unless I'm missing something here... any ideas on how to make the windows install less stupid?

EDIT: Looked the drives up in the storage part of admin tools...


Why is drive D: called a system drive when it has never had an OS installed on it?
