    Would you be able to post a screen capture of your disk management?

    Make sure Win7 holds the System Active flags then delete the XP partition in Disk Mgmt.

    Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Mgmt drive map with listings, using Snipping Tool in Start Menu: Screen Shots
