WIN7 / Vista Home Premium dual boot - TRASHING ONE
Hi
I have C Drive 250gb - Vista HP SP2 and, PARTIONED, also a W Drive 250gb - WIN7 RC7100
Boot Manager list WIN7 first, which is what I wanted and set via msconfig.
I think I am going to trash my Vista and install a clean WIN7 on C drive.
I am thinking to do this:
1. From within WIN7, go to msconfig and reset boot sequence to C Drive
2. Reboot. From within Vista, go to Disk Management and delete the W partition (and therefore WIN7) and then to resize my C drive to full amount of C/W size (500GB)
3. From within Vista, load in Win7 DVD, go to My computer and set off setup.exe & do a clean install...or do I have to change boot sequence thru bios first and reboot to the DVD drive to do this?
I have all discs/drivers for my other applications and they are all working fine on my present WIN7 drive
Or would I simply do an in-place upgrade?
I know I have to either purchase a new copy or an upgrade copy of WIN7.
Is my thought process above corret?
