Disk management

I have my old XP load on my C drive and Vista on the D drive. I'm
ready to wipe out XP (I know lots of folks would go the other way) so
I can create a mirror copy of Vista for fault tolerance. Before I
enable RAID in the firmware, I'm thinking I need to format the C
drive. However the Disk Management utility has the format command
grayed out for the C drive. It shows up as:

Disk 0: C: NTFS, Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)

My D drive is:

Disk 2: D: NTFS, Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary
Partition)

What is the proper way to wipe out C so I can create my RAID mirror?

Thanks,
Kent
