Hi all,
I just subscribed to this forum hoping i ca get some help. I would like to install windows 7 on my desktop. It is currently running windows XP. I'm not sure what i did but i wound up installing Windows XP "twice" on the C drive. I booted up windows 7 and installed it sucessfully but the windows XP is still on the drive.
Please some assist me in deleting just the Windows XP.
Thanks in advance

It always helps us if we can see a snipping tool picture of your Disk Management window. Makes it easier to see where everything is located.
If you installed Windows 7 last, you should be using that boot system. Reformatting the Windows XP partition you do not want should get rid of that install and removing the boot entry in msconfig.exe will allow showing only one XP entry.
But not knowing exactly where the boot files are located, makes it hard to recommend what process would work best.
