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
