No easy way to do this because you are essentially dual booting and have 2 partitions. Oddly enough your exact same problem is being answered here:

If it was me and Windows 7 was new and you can back up your files OR have nothing to back up I would boot from the Windows 7 CD, delete all partitions during install (look for advanced installation options) then let Windows create the needed partitions for Windows 7. One OS, clean install, life is good.

basically i did a fresh install on my one hard drive and put xp there then since i have two HD's i put windows 7 on the second as a fresh install and this solved my issue thanks though.Well my main issue was i got my copy of windows 7 if the microsoft site.and it was in ISO format so i had too do some work around with it.I know what dual booting is ive done it be for and did not like it.But i was able too get windows 7 fresh install with out XP in the way so basically i reformat my HD that had xp on it so now they will not dual boot any more.Thanks for the info though
