Win 7 & Win XP Installs

Question for you gurus.........

On my kids system I had Win XP on a single 80GB drive. Added a 250GB drive and added Win 7 beta for them to get used to and mess with. Now, the Win XP install has become corrupt possibly by a virus or perhaps even the drive is failing. At any rate, they haven't booted into Win XP for nearly 3 weeks now and I was wondering how I can/could go about deleting/formating the Win XP install but keep the Win 7 installation intact and bootable?

Haven't even messed with it at this point........been away from this stuff for too long. Is it even possible to do this without messing up the Win 7 install and if so, how do I go about it?

As stated, Win XP and Win 7 beta are both on seperate SATA drives and there is also another 250GB storage drive in the system for their games, music, video, etc..
 
I haven't used Windows 7 yet but there should be a administrative area in control panel. In there, there is a disk management program. You can format the drive in there. If you want to get rid of dual booting, I might be wrong, but you run the setup for Windows 7 and go into recovery mode I believe and run fixmbr. That's how you do it in Windows XP.
