If you remove all the Linux partiions, then you have zero Linux partitions left. It doesn't matter how many you start with. I admit that it's a littl confusing though -- the installer could look at the disk and only offer the options that make sense.Not quite. The automatic partitioning allows you to choose between
removing all partitions and all _Linux_ partitions -- choose the latter
and you won't lose anything. To be completely sure, make sure you've
ticked (checked) the box that lets you review the partition table.

Since he doesn't *has* a Linux partition yet to begin with(there is only
windows XP installed with no free partitions) what would choosing "remove
all linux partitions" achieve (i.e. there aren't any) ?
Doesnt't he rather needs to choose manual mode and delete the partitionYou missed my earlier comment where I suggested shrinking C and D with PartitionMagic to leave some free space to install in. This is almost guaranteed to work whereas deleteing a D partition that's in use and referenced by existing programs is almost guaranteed to break stuff.
related to D:\ to make space for the Linux partition ? Am assuming he didn't
delete it from within Windows itself already.
Am slightly confused so will have to try checking the install sequence
myself later.
VMware is dead useful. I lost count long ago of the number of installations I've done.
