I needed to customize the item edit / display / new form to remove some fields from the form. In SPD you can not convert the edit form to XSLT dataview. What you have to do is:
1. Hide the default form: Select the ListFormWebPart, right click and select web part properties. Go to layout and check hidden.
2. Insert your custom form: Click on an empty area so nothing is selected. Then go to Insert->Sharepoint controls->Custom List form, then select the list you are modifying and select the type of form. Now you can modify or delete any field!
