Current dual boot-deleting Vista

SIW2 said:

Curious - rt click the first 11.72gb partition and see what options it gives - look under Modify on the rt click menu as well.

I can create/wipe/properties.

Everything else is blanked out,including the modify options.

OK, Rt click Disk and select rebuild mbr, Apply.

Then boot 7 dvd and run startup repair 3 times.

If still no joy , we'll have a look with Diskpart .

Done,dont see any changes obvious.

*didnt see the rest of your post,doing now.

No joy..

Can i use the restore partition part of partition wizard to bring the Vista partition back with the bootmgr?

No. That's why you made the Macrium image.

Ok,i stored that in the data partition,how would i restore it?

Just stick with SIW2, as there is no way this Win7 copied to the first partition is not recoverable with enough troubleshooting.

SIW2 he sez he deleted the Recovery partition in #21. Win7 was copied onto that and adjacent Vista's unallocated space.

LIW2 he sez above he deleted the Recovery partition.

I have complete faith in SIW2,im just asking about other possibilities:)

I always thought the boot section of the pc was either on bios or windows,thats how far my knowledge went and thats what brought me here lol

Boot the macrium cd and follow the screen - couldn't be easier - make sure you select Primary and Active - restore mbr as well - will be as before:
