How do I remove Win 7 from a two hard drive dual boot with XP
I have a dual boot system with an OS on two separate hard drives. XP came originally on the computer and thanks to this forum I was able to install Win 7 on a second HD and run a problem free dual boot for a while now.
The problem now is that my second hard drive with Win 7 is starting to fail and I need to replace it. I’ve tried searching all through this forum and other sites but can’t find the steps to do this right. Everywhere I’ve looked it has been, “Removing XP from a two hard drive dual boot” or “Removing 7 from a partitioned dual boot.” I’m hoping I can get the help I need from here.
I want to remove 7 from my dual boot so that the XP hard drive is the only one the computer recognizes and is booting up from (The same way the computer worked before I created my dual boot). I then plan to install a new second hard drive and follow the original steps to recreate my dual boot setup.
I appreciate any help I can get.
