Thread: How can remove windows vista while running windows 7

I installed window vista on one drive and windows 7 on another drive. How can I remove vista when I running windows 7. The computer does not let me format drive. It says it cannot format the drive.

in addition any third party softwares as the Vista installation was added into the windows7 BCD store and still active as being in windows 7 the fast and simple result is a Linux drive tool GParted or the Gnome Partition Editor . When downloading the ISO disk image for the live cd edition of the drive tool you burn that to a cd-r or even write it to a usb pen or flash drive and boot up from that rather than the major system drive.

The windows 7 installation DVD also has some essential drive tools also seen there once you acquire past the Install Now screen and seem under for the advanced options which include the Format option and also New, Resize, etc. there. One time booted there you should be able to reformat but not resize the windows 7 primary too well if you elect to removed the D partition.
