I have XP in 250GB HDD (6 drives/40GB each).
Also ubuntu in my old 40GB HDD (1 drive/40GB).

I used to play lot of games and work on PS and other graphical applications.
So the system has been very slow, so i decide to reinstall XP.

I reboot the system with my XP setup cd in the DVD-drive.
I selected c:\drive and deleted it,
Now back to selecting of drives, i selected c:\drive again to format to NTFS and install XP.

When i select C:\ and press Enter it is saying it does not support windows.

So i reboot the system and logged into ubuntu and started partition manager(Gparted),
there when i select that c:\ and click for file system selection the NTFS is disabled.

So how to format c:\ to NTFS?
I tried to do in FAT32 but unable to install XP.

Please help.

I would try a kill disk. Google kill disk and download it and run it on the drive. It will wipe out whats on the drive and you can then start over with a new copy of windows.
