Remove dual boot
A bit of background...
I installed Win 7 on a new drive, booting into the DVD & electing to keep Vista as a dual boot option. Everything worked great until a few months ago. It started taking forever to reboot. I thought I tracked it down to a weak data cable on the Win 7 drive. I replaced it. No improvement. I did a chkdsk on both drives. It found errors and corrected them. Reboot again took almost 30 minutes. Long story short, I finally was able to run startup repair which found errors & corrected them. Again a 30 minute reboot. Changed boot order of drives and ran startup repair 2 times (3rd found no errors). I finally have everything on the C: Win 7 drive. I now want to have a single boot into Win 7. Since things rarely go as expected, I want to bounce the bcdedit command off everyone to make sure I have it right!
Here's the bcdedit info followed by the disk management info:

Am I right that running the following command is what I want?
bcdedit /delete {07fd7a02-8551-11df-889a-ee9b7ddaee3d} /cleanup
