| 771348 | 2009-05-06 00:11:00 | Hi all, I installed Win7 Beta from the March issue DVD on a dual boot setup but I found that I don't use it that much and want to uninstall it to recover disk space I've installed it on a partition (F:) which is separate to the drive where my Win Vista is installed on (C:) What would be the safest way to uninstall it and also remove the dual boot screen when starting up the computer? Thanks NOTE: I have quite a number of non system files in the partition which I don't want to lose so reformatting the partition isn't an option. |

Then extend the partition so the Vista partition is the size of the original Vista partition + the size of the Windows 7 partition (assuming they're on the same disk). | jwil1 (65) | ||

Blam Oops, forgot to mention you have to delete the partition too:p Do it in Vista using Disk Manager as Jwil mentioned(run>diskmgmt.msc) Then right Click Vista partition>extend. Blam |
