Uninstalling Vista

I have two hard drives ,each hard drive is partitioned into 2.

Drive 1

Partition C:
Partition D:

Drive 2

Partition E:

Partition F:

I have Vista Home Premium on C: Drive
Have Windows 7 on E: Drive

My Boot File is on the C : Drive for both Operating Systems.

If I want to remove Vista on Drive 1 , Partition C: First of all what would
be the easiest way of removing Vista? Reformat the drive or can you
uninstall it with the programs??

If I do Format the C: Drive,I would loose the Boot Manager File. I would
probably not be able to even boot into Win 7. If I can not boot into 7 Can I
insert the DVD do a repair to bring back the Boot file to C:?

Or can I just use a second party Boot Manager like Easy BCD to configure
Boot manager??
Thank You

Doug

Hi Doug,

Run disk manager and look at the hard drives, as Win7 usually sets up a
separate boot volume. If it has, you would be safe to format C: and simply
remove the reference from Win7's boot manager.

And yes, you could simply insert the disk and run a repair on the boot
sector.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your knowledge on the subject.

In Manager C: Drive says: Healthy (System,Active,Primary Partition) C: has
Vista on it

E: Drive says: Healthy ( Boot,Page File, Active,Crash
Dump,Primary Partition) E: has Win 7 on it.

To me it looks like E: has Boot Volume???

Thanks again for any assistance.

Doug

C is the System partition, meaning it contains Boot Manager. Remove
the C drive, or, in Bios setup, make the E drive the boot drive. Then
run Windows 7 startup repair to make the E drive bootable.

Hi Doug,

In win-speak, the volume containing the boot files is designated as the
system volume (and the one containing the system files is the boot volume).
If you format or remove C: at this point, you would have to run a repair
from the Win7 booted disk. If the drive is left in place, you will need to
remark E: as the active volume first or it will just repair the boot on C:.

I would I remark I: as the active volume???

I was thinking if I manually removed the C: Drive which is partitioned in
tom C: and D:.
Then the 2nd Drive with E: and F: on it will be the only drive. Since E: has
Windows 7 on it .I can start up windows from the DVD and do a repair???

Then I can install the other drive again and format it??

I just want to make sure, I did something like this once and lost both OS's
Thank You Very Much

Doug

Hi,

If you don't change the active drive, there is a possiblility that the
system will look back to the original drive when you reinsert it, rendering
your startup repair moot.

I am sorry, I have one more question. How to change the active drive???

I will not ask no more questions. I understand now if I put back the drive I
removed, it might want to boot from it and then I am moot.

Thank You Again
