Remove vista and retain W7 on dual boot

Is Windows Vista on a separate partition than Windows 7?

You have 3 options imo Option1: reinstall Win7 from scratch and during install wipe the disk and create only one partition. Option2: Clone win7, wipe the disk and restore the image expanding it to the entire disk. Then you will need to do a Win 7 repair install to get the boot record and registry pointers corrected. Option3: Remove all files on c: EXCEPT those on the root [boot files] and use this space accordingly. This has the least risk of data loss or time consumption.

delete the partition with vista. while in win 7, go to msconfig and delete the startup option, drop in the repair cd for win 7, reboot, and run a repair. you will have a win7 only operating system, then go into disk management and use the free space from the vista drive for storage or extend the win 7 partition. i hate computers! but cant help myself....
