Im unsure or confused as how to remove Vista from my computer. I have Windows7 the full version setup as a triple boot with XP and vista. When I originally setup my PC I believe it was Vista>XP>Windows7, in that order. I don't want to remove Vista and find myself unable to boot into any OS though so I need some info or tips how to do so. Can I simply just disk manage shrink the Vista drive to make it all unallocated freespace? Let me know heres a pic of my setup.
C:drive - Vista
B:drive - Windows 7
D:drive - XP

Since you have Windows 7 installed alongside Vista, your bootloader should be intact & all you should have to do is wipe the Vista partition & remove its bootmenu entry.

If you are still apprehensive about not being able boot your machine after removing Vista, no worries. Boot into Windows 7, install EasyBCD, delete the Vista partition to recover the space formerly occupied by its installation.

Once that is done, open EasyBCD, go to the Manage Bootloader button & after ensuring that Reinstall the Vista Windows 7 Bootloader radio button is selected, click Write MBR & reboot your machine.
