    Want to rmove XP as no longer need dual boot


    Hi All I have a dual boot Win 7 and XP, I want to remove the XP as I no longer use it. Both are active and on seperate discs, can I just format the disc?
    I have used easy BCD to edit the boot menu so only Windows 7 default yes

    Hi,
    yes, you should only format the partition (or disk) where Windows XP is installed.

    Keep in mind that the boot loader should be in Windows 7's partition, or your pc won't boot anymore after formatting.

    So winxp is already deleted from Boot menu.... it doesn't display a menu anymore and boots win7 automatically? If so... that part has been done. I hope bcd and bootmgr are on win7 physical disk. I have to see disk management to know it

    Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Management drive map and listings:

    1. Type Disk Management in Start Search box.
    2. Open Disk Mgmt. window and maximize it.
    3. Type Snipping Tool in Start Search box.
    4. Open Snipping Tool, choose Rectangular Snip, click New, draw a box around full drive map and all listings.
    5, Save Snip, attach using paper clip in Reply Box.

    Tell us what is on each partition.
