Woes with formatting a Hard Drive, zomg

Well now, I've been trying for some time now to format my C drive, but I have been encountering problem after problem.
First off, even in an administrative account, I can't delete the partition I have on my C drive, and I can't figure out why. And every tut I've looked at says I need to remove that in order to format my disk.
What makes matters worse is I tried to boot from my windows CD and delete the partition by installing a new copy of windows, but that only created another partition....leaving me with the 14 gigs of free space I had left on my HD.....AND I CAN"T get rid of that either.
