I read on WinMatrix that you can't upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. So I'll recommend you to put the ISO on your Windows XP drive and then install Windows 7 on the second drive. That way you can create a dual-boot configuration and then you can boot to Windows 7 and Windows XP. I'm doing this too, and I'm writing this on my Windows 7 machine. Just don't forget to backup your files.
