I don't know much about MBRs/installing other OSes, but I'm sure there's some way to bypass it looking for your other OS. If not, try to find something to repair/remove the old MBR (Master boot record), that's where all the partitions are stored.
Good luck, hope it helps. If not, like I said. I don't know much about installing/removing OSes.

That's because you did not install windows properly that you have the black screen, becausethe MBR (Master Boot Record) which is responsible for loading the system is missing, follow this little tutorial to show:
* Make sure you have a bootable CD of Windows XP, or a set of installation floppies.
* You can now restart your computer from the Windows XP CD or set of installation disks (three in number).
* Start the installation itself: first choose the installation by typing the enter key.
* Accept (if desired) the license with the F8 key. Finally, choose the disk to be formatted. The program will show you (if any) that Windows has already been installed in the disc. Then choose to install over using C.
* Then choose one of the Format the partition. Windows NT4/2000/XP: NTFS, Windows 98: FAT32
* Formatting will start after confirmation and installation of Win XP will follow.

I've tried all that and when I hit F8, the installation just says (at the bottom) "searching for previous versions of Microsoft" and then just sit there, searching forever
