I haven't used any similar software for many years, so I found it a tad tricky to understand how to use it. The online videos helped. I used Partition Magic years ago and, from memory anyway, found it much simpler to use. However, this does most of the same when you've worked it out.

Easus has a Home Edition FREE partitioning tool that works rather well...
Thanks to all for your responses and comments. I just prefer a graphic interface as that is what I am accustomed to. Much quicker for me. I did my desktop that was just upgraded to 7, as well as a new HP '7' laptop and it was all done without a hitch, so the Wizard did just as it said it would.
It is certainly nice to have this great forum just a click away. A real help to me on occasion. Thanks!
Over in the Installation & Setup trenches, we are finding Partition Wizard the best app for extricating from Dual Boots:
1)Back up all files and create an image backup stored externally in case u need to start over.
1) boot using PW disk and mark Win7 partition active if it is not already
2) delete the XP/Vista partition
3) if you want to move Win7 onto the deleted OS space, right click 7> Move/Resize and drag border over to encompass deleted space
4) After operations finish, boot into Win7 installer and run Startup Repair 3 times, as there are multiple issues to fix.
When finished, create a Win7 backup image so reinstalls are never again necessary.
