    Removing Windows XP from 7

    I'm happy with running 7 RC now and I've ordered a full copy with the preorder discount but I'm having trouble removing the copy of XP I left on one partition.

    When I try to format or delete the volume which XP is on, from the computer management screen, it brings up messages telling me is can't do that to the volume.

    Any ideas how I can get around this?
