I would like to tell I have never heard that you can update your Window XP 32bit to Window 7 without a clean installation. I have to give you idea that clean install and an upgrade are unlike things in fact you can say they are different. An upgrade is just "modify" your current Operating System to the fresh OS and a clean install wash out your old Operating System and installed the fresh OS. Windows XP can't upgrade to Window 7 it means for that you need to do a clean install. For that you should back up your whole data and be ready to reinstall all the software that you want.

Hello! Friend if you are trying to upgrade you xp to Window 7 without installing the fresh copy, then let me tell you that it is not possible. But in order to enjoy the Window 7 then you can install the Window 7 in other drive then the drive you have install XP. By doing these you will be able to enjoy both the operating system. But one thing you should keep in mind after installing, if you are trying to uninstall XP then you will also lose the working of Window 7. Because Window 7 is sit on the Window XP drivers.
