Hello Gwynneth, Welcome to SF!
Seems you chose a dualboot installation. Have a look at Clean Install Windows 7
how do I stop the duel boot then as someone else did the upgrade for me.Gwynneth
If you (or someone else) just (very recently) did the dualboot install... my choice would be to save any data you need and do a clean install of W7 as in the tutorial I referred to.
If you're not comfortable doing that... then I'm not sure if you'd be comfortable taking out the XP part in your current install...
But, if that's what you really want, we'll have a look at that...
First check for that is: are you happy to lose ALL data/files in the XP OS part... there is nothing there that you need? All your personal data/music/files/films/whatever... is saved or on separate HDD that you can already access from W7?
Can you post a screen shot of Disk management?

What HP model?
Hi i think i have done this right my computer is HP pavilion t645.uk
Looking at your disk management layout Gwynneth, you can't be dual-booting because you only have a recovery partition (D) and a Windows partition (C).
I'm assuming that what your friend did was upgrade your computer from Windows XP to Windows 7.
I used too have a screen like that, but not any more,
it only now comes direct into windows 7
I do not know what has happened.
