Ok, I am in need of help again please.

So I remembered I had a broken laptop laying around, the ac power jack was broken but the hard drive was fine. So I installed that hard drive into my newer laptop and proceeded to install Windows 7 on it. I think I forgot to delete the old version of windows xp off of it, or delete that partition. I just started to use the laptop with windows 7 abd installed the browsers I use, antivirus, spyware detection programs, all that good stuff. And it's saying i only have 10 gb of space left. So my question is how can I delete that older version of windows and partition without causing any damage. Thanks

Hello,

Is the XP on a different Partition i.e.C drive and D Drive ? Or one the same Partition ?

Whoa ! That would be a problem. Well to be honest it's best to clean everything then install Windows 7 again. Because it might be a big mess to remove them separately. Also if we remove the wrong file it might stop windows from booting again.

ok, I'd be ok with cleaning everything and reinstalling it. Do I just do that with the Windows 7 DVD or how is the best way to clean everything?

Yup .. Boot with Windows 7 Disk. Then part where it reached about partition select the advance option and format both partitions and then install it on C drive. Here is a article http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1649-clean-install-windows-7-a.html
