deleting OS and canceling dual boot
Hello,
I need help with deleting OS and canceling dual boot,
previous state:
251 MB primary
C: win media center / system, active, primary /
D: win xp / extended, logical /
E: dvd drive
I've formatted D: and it has become unallocated, my dvd drive got new number D:
because I couldnt use my dvd drive to run installation dvd of Win7 / I got error code 0x80070017 which is about corrupt dvd or something / I have copied it to C: and did run setup.exe.
It has asked me where to put it and I chose that unallocated space. Now after installation everything works fine,
and it looks like:
251 MB primary
C: win media center / system, active, primary /
D: dvd drive
E: win7 / boot, paging file, logical, state failure in the system /
Start-Run-MSConfig in boot tab is: Windows7 (E:\Windows): Current OS, Default OS, nothing else.
Win7 has created Windows.old file but I have deleted it.
at the start up I get a page for 30 sec to choose from Previous OS and Win7, I know I can disable it to appear again going to Start - control panel - system - advanced - start and restore...
But I want to know how to delete OS from C:, whether it can be done safely, because E: Win7 is not primary only logical, how to get rid Win Media Centre for good and keep Win7 as the only OS .
Thanks for your ideas. Nika
Hello guys,
did some research here and I have found Partition : Recover Space Used by an Older OS by Bare Foot Kid.
Can I use this tutorial to solve my problem?
