Deleting XP partition

I had a dual boot with ME on c: and XP on d: drive. I replaced the ME partition with a new XP install. This left me with 2 XP installs. As such I have copied across all files needed from the d: install on to the c: install. Now I want to delete the d: partition install. Firstly if I delete all the files from this partition will it effect the install on the c: drive. If not how do I then remove the bootloader.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Do I just edit it so it looks like:
[boot loader]

If not could you please tell me how to edit it

Thanks

Go ahead and delete everything from D. It's no longer in use.
Then remove the last line in boot.ini, so it looks exactly like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
