I've been trying to remove Windows XP from my gaming PC I got from her. I installed Windows 7 and it didn't upgrade and overwrite the old os, instead it just installed in a dual boot manner. The Windows XP partition can not be formatted and it is taking up more than half the hard drives memory because it still holds all the old files. I've logged onto Windows XP and tried to uninstall it from the Add/Remove programs section and the option to do that doesn't show up. Is there a way to wipe the whole hard drive, Windows 7 and Windows XP partitions, or a way to remove Windows XP and the files in the partition?
