Insert the Windows 7 DVD and type the following

command at a command prompt, substituting the letter of your DVD drive for d:

d:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 all

You can now delete all system files from the volume containing the Windows installation

you no longer plan to use. For even more effective removal, use the Disk Management console

in Windows XP to reformat the drive and start fresh.

Boot into the XP recovery console. Type 'fixboot' and then 'fixmbr'. This will cause XP to install its own boot manager and master boot record, overwriting the Windows 7 boot manager.
