Hi,
when installing XP you have the option of installing it on the existing partition, or creating a new partition.
If you made a new partition, your old installation will still be there just taking up space.

cheers

Insert the Win7 disk in the drive, bootup and choose the dvd drive.
You will be given options to delete, format and partition the drive.
