How can I uninstall windows XP from my mac yosemite 10.10

I am trying to uninstall XP from my mac ( mid 2010) .
I dont see that option in my bootcamp it says remove Windows 7 .
Its not even showing install option for windows 7 , please let me know how to remove xp and install Windows 7.

Two   methods:
Boot Camp Assistant - after you deal with how Yosemite messed up the partition table for Windows;
Clone or backup and boot from the other drive - clone or TimeMachine - then erase and restore.
It modified and messed up Boot Camp partitions and needs some magic to get it to show again. PITA.  Due to how Yosemite handles Windows partition "Boot Camp" you probably have not been able to use it. You also can install Windows, then also use it in a VM and not have to dual boot unless you want - and you have the cpu resources and RAM for both OS's, after you have your new Boot Camp setup with Windows and working. Make sure to allocate enough, generally at least 60 if not 80GB of storage - and leave enough for Mac OS as well.
Paragon Software's CampTuneX can redistribute space between OS X (HFS+) and Windows "(NTFS) partitions too. And I know they are quick to update to Yosemite, don't know if they have helped in addressing the problem like you are seeing.
You should have asked on Windows support Community under "Boot Camp" btw.
Boot Camp
Once you have Yosemite back to a single HFS+ partition (user partition anyway) you can then use BCA to create a Windows partition to install Windows 7.

    I assume this is on Windows!?
    If so I think it would be basically the same as this...

    Open the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and use it to restore the drive to a single partition setup. If it's not there, use Pacifist to extract it from your install DVD and run the combo updater for your OS version.

  • Can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

    can I uninstall parallels 5 from a mac book with lion installed

    Just to add to the conversation with some helpful information. 
    Prior to install i was more worried about finding a Quicken replacement than anything (decided on iBank).  I installed Lion and then realized as I was going through my system that Parallel 5 set up for my previous employer.  As suspected, it did not work. So I upgraded Parallels planning to eventually set it up again in the future including reinstalling the version of windows.  When I finally logged on with after the upgrade, all my files, etc. was still there.  Shocking but true.  Double check to see if this occured with any one else.  Good luck.

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

    How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

    Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
    In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
    You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC
