Removing win xp after installing win 8

Question

I've win xp and win 8 installed at the same time (dual-boot) and now I'm thinking about removing windows xp and just keep windows 8 for the usage,

The problem is that I'm unsure how to proceed on with the process or even using what terms should I google for a tutorial of such nature..

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

If you installed Win 8 after win xp then the win 8 bootloader has probably taken over. You can just format your XP drive!

Nope they are both working at the same time and I don't know how to uninstall a window actually without formatting the whole drive, have not worked a lot with dual-boot – Junaid Ali Apr 18 '14 at 14:57
What do you mean by they are both working at the same time? – Sharang Dashputre Apr 18 '14 at 14:58
I can boot either of them from the boot menu, they both show up there – Junaid Ali Apr 18 '14 at 14:58

Yeah that's normal.. You have installed them both on different drives right? You can just boot into Windows 8 and format the Windows XP partition – Sharang Dashputre Apr 18 '14 at 15:00
Yep they are in seperate drives, I'll try that now. Thanks :) – Junaid Ali Apr 18 '14 at 15:15
