    Hi
    I already have windows xp installed on my HD. I saw i could download windws 7 from the microsoft site so i downloaded it and installed it. I partitioned my HD and installed it. Now i dual boot and when im using windows 7 i cant listen to music or go on the internet because i cant install anything.

    Now i want to take windows 7 of my HD but i dont know how. Should i format the drive i installed it in?


    Please Help.

    You have both XP & Windows 7 installed on the same drive?

    You can reformat the Windows 7 partition & see if running fixmbr from a Windows XP recovery console will remove the Windows 7 boot screen. If not (or if you prefer), use a 3rd party software such as VistaBootPro to restore the Windows XP boot record.
