| 816610 | 2009-10-04 00:18:00 | Am currently dual booting my laptop vista home and Windows 7 RC1. Would like to revert to Vista so I can sell the laptop. Want to return the C drive to it's original size (RC1 shows as a D drive in Vista) and return the boot option to Vista on it's own. | Quiet (8950) | ||
| 816611 | 2009-10-04 01:06:00 | you could just reinstall vista from the disk and then format the entire drive and allocate it to one drive and install on that | nedkelly (9059) | ||

Want to return the C drive to it's original size (RC1 shows as a D drive in Vista) and return the boot option to Vista on it's own. Download Gparted (sourceforge.net), burn the ISO file as an image to a CD. If you're doing this from W7 all you gotta to do is insert a blank CD/DVD and double click the ISO, and clicking Burn. Once thats done, boot from the CD(change boot order in BIOS) and delete the 7 partition, then drag the slider and extend the Vista partition back. Click apply, wait about an hour(or more depending on the size of the partitions) and you're done!:) Once you've done that, download EasyBCD and remove the 7 option. neosmart.net Blam |

Next time you do this, install your Windows 7 using BootfromVHD on your hardware (copy Win7 VHD onto your existing PC c:\bootvhd for instance) then add that new OS into your boot entry Then to delete you just need to remove the bootentry (BCDedit) and delete the VHD file, and Windows 7 vanished Cheers Nathan Microsoft NZ |
