Hi Karlsnooks,
Sorry if this sounds a bit dumb but are you saying that all the information stored on all 3 partitions have nothing to do with my basic laptop functions and only contain data that is windows OS specific. Same as you, I couldn't give a hoot about keeping vista on my laptop and would much prefer to keep it simple and just use windows 7. When the guys at Geek Squad installed windows 7 at the same time that I purchased my laptop they heavily stressed that I needed vista (it is pre-installed) to make my laptop function and HAD to install windows 7 over it. I am now beginning to see that that may not be the case at all.
I would like to try the way you suggest and Greg initially suggested as it sounds (at least you make it sound)the least complicated. But you know what it's like with these things..it's easy when you know how.
To put it plainly, if I proceed as you suggested, without using the partition wizard, is there ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE that I will kill my laptop. I don't care about vista it's the laptop I care about.
Hope this makes sense to you! (I'm almost confusing myself to be honest).
