If you're not bothered about losing data you need to start over.

Boot from the CD and select to set up Windows.

It will look for installed versions and show the 2 versions installed.

Delete both partitions and it will just show you one partition.

Now you can divide the one remaining partition again into 2 partitions, chossing whatever size you like.

Set up Windows on C: and leave the other partition unformatted.

Once Windows is installed, go into Disk Management (right-click My Computer > Manage) and format the spare unallocated partition, giving it a letter)

--------------------
OK OK I can't go any faster! aaaaaaaaaaaagh!
