If you don't use your windows xp any more i think you should format it and then merge it with the windows 7 partition ( if both drives are next to each other, and note that most partition editors would warn you about backing up your data first because the merging process isn't so safe ) and yea 14 GB is not really enough for windows 7, i think you need at least about 20 GB or something
