I think best way would be with 3rd party software like Acronis Disk Director to delete the partition. You can make a rescue disk on cd and then boot to it and delete the XP Partition.

Just use Vista's partitioner to remove XP and expand your Vista partition to fill the space that you freed up.

Right-click Computer > Manage > Disk Management.
