Safe removal of Vista partition on a Dual Boot.

There are plenty of threads that touch on this subject but I cannot find the answer to my specific concern:

I am running Seven on a dual boot and now wish to remove the Vista partition. I have the excellent Partition Wizard and I understand that I need to make the Seven Partition the active one before deleting the Vista Partition. However, I need to make the Vista Partition inactive before I am given the option of making the Seven Partition active and I get spooked by the warning message that displays when I instruct the Wizard to make Vista inactive.

Am I safe to go ahead and programme the Wizard to make Vista inactive and Seven active simultaneously?

Seven is designated as my C drive and Vista is D.

Many thanks.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Screen print attached. I do have the installation disks for Seven.

Thanks - done that.

My Windows 7 disk is a red Reinstallation DVD from a PC that was decommissioned. Is that okay?


LATER: I don't mind leaving the D partition in place, as long as I can transfer as much space as possible over to C.

Incidentally, I've found that I'm not allowed to save files to certain areas of the C drive now. Haven't researched this yet but can I be lazy and ask you for the solution.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your help AddRAM

I am using the tool on my C Drive at present. Works fine. :)

Incidentally, I am not being allowed to save data to certain parts of my C drive. Can you point me in the right direction for an answer please?

Thanks again.

Yes, it is letting me save in the Library Folders but not in the documents folders that I migrated from Vista. For example, the following path: C: Users\Paul\MyDocuments....
