Removing XP from Dual Boot
Hi
I've been looking at this thread as I want to remove XP and work only with Win7. However, it would appear that Partition Wizard (PW) has either changed OR I've a problem with my Win7 installation. The problem is the very first step, i.e. deleting the XP partition and making the Win7 partition active (all part of step one). Yes, I can delete XP but no way can I make Win7 active as PW has it greyed out.
My question therefore is: where do I go from here? Yes, I can make Win7 active using Disk Management but what will happen when I delete XP? Will I still be running in Win7? (I suspect XP is ONLY required during the boot process) I'm just not sure what to do now. I'm not in any panic to remove XP so I'll take my time and make sure I know what is needed before doing anything. There must be a way of achieving my aim but I'm just not sure how. I would therefore appreciate help in making Win7 active as this must be done before I can go to doing three Startup Repairs.
