    I have windows xp on one drive and windows 7 on another. When i plug both drives into the same pc it defaults to 7. How do i boot into xp so i can format the 7 drive to erase it and start fresh?

    I would recommend downloading easyBCD. It modifies the windows 7 bootloader to include XP. This just means that when you start up the computer a list is presented to you so that you can choose the OS you want to use.
