Dual boot XP/7 -> fresh XP

Cptnodegard · 2009-09-10

I'm currently dual booting the stock XP install and windows 7. How would I go about removing 7 and getting XP back on, factory fresh? I know there's an erecovery app, but what I figure is that if I remove 7 - the newest install - the bootloader will be messed up and I can't get into XP. Is that so, if so what do I do? Does it work if I format the 7 partition from within XP and then do a recovery? I dont have a external CD/DVD rom nor do I plan on getting one, so anything concerning a recovery CD wont help
