Hmm...I thought that once booted from the 7 drive where the boot files were copied to, then running the bcdedit command, it would then report as C:.
Am I wrong about this? not too sure

On my pc downstairs, I moved the boot files from D: to C: just like we did here. Changed bios to boot from C:. Did not do anything else at all. This was months ago.
I just Damewared into it, and ran bcdedit and this is what I got:
Never tried it that way so i can't say. Normal procedure is to export bcd to new location , correct the entries in the new bcd for the new location, correct the boot sector for the new location, mark the drive as active and of course move the files. but like i said unplug and do a startup repair is way easier, or use diskpart to clean the vista partition and do a startup repair.
Hello All
Disconnected vista drive, did startup repair, repaired, rebooted into windows 7, reconnected vista drive, checked bcdedit all now in 7 and on c drive, deleted vista partition through disk management no problems.
Happy, thanks again for all your help.
best

Cool, glad you got it sorted!
Now allocate those unused partitions you have and make some use of them lol!
