Question : want to merge win7 partition into winxp partition so only win 7 remains

I currently have 3 disks in my computer.

• HDD0 consists of 2 partitions, one with windows xp (c:), one partition with windows 7 (k:)

• HDD1 is a RAID5 (d:)

I'm happy with Windows 7 and would like to make it the active and bootable partition and once this is done then absorb the windows XP partition...but, i really don't want to reinstall Windows 7 if at all possible.

When i boot I get (what I think is) the windows xp booloader where i have to select "windows 7" or the "recovery console" as I removed the windows xp selection to not confuse my kids...that being said, before I go and get rid of XP i figure i had better understand how to do this.

Is this an easy thing to do?

Will Paragon PM do this for me effectively or is there another, better process i should follow?
