| | Unplug your Vista drive and do a startup repair up to 3 times with your Windows 7 installer (dvd disc) your system files are on your Vista harddrive. That is why it won`t let you delete it. Reconnect your drive and you should then be able to delete it. |

| | Just for the record: How is it possible that your system is booting to disk 2 (to Vista disk) ? 1. Are the disks remapped in BIOS ? 2. Are you selecting at boot time which disk to be booted ? Windows 7 and Vista boot always to first disk active partition.... |

| | Have a look at this tutorial, which explains how to remove the active flag from the Vista partition and run a startup repair to get Windows 7 to boot up. Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times |

| | You can choose which HD to boot in BIOS setup - Vista on Disk1 is apparently set to boot first. Unplug Vista HD, make sure Windows 7 HD is set first HD to boot in BIOS setup after DVD drive, run three Startup Repairs as suggested which will write the System boot files to the Active partition. |
