Installing win 7
Hi All

I went into disk management and this is the partitions on the drive.
1. 6mb unallocated
2. 2gb healthy recovery partion
3. 5mb unallocated
4. 147gb NTFS healthy (page file)
Is it possible to remove all partitions? I have tried in the past without success, so on boot up I get a choice of my O/S on c: or the defunct and deleted vista on e:
