Windows 7 - Delete Partition

Delete Partition

Hi All,
I know this posting has been started at various different threads, but I am utterly confused. I was running Windows Vista on my C drive and had purchased Windows 7. Prior to installing Win 7, I partitioned my C drive (since it was one giant drive) and made a new one and labeled it H. I then went on to install Windows 7 on the H drive, which went smoothly. Now I'd like to delete the partition that contains Vista. However, I am not able to delete it and I get an error. I have attached the screen shot of my disk management. If someone could explain how I could go about in order to delete the C partition, that would be wonderful. I again apologize for starting this thread if someone else has posted the same thing elsewhere.

Welcome to SF AHR

you cannot delete this partition as it's primary and contains the boot files. You can either boot from the DVD clean install on C: and use migwiz to transfer files and settings from H: to C: and then delete H:
Or you can follow the quite complicated process of switching here.
