From: Drew on 14 Feb 2010 14:38 Hi all.. I currently dual boot Vista business and win7 rc. since I currently cannot afford to do the upgrade to full win7 and the rc is going to expire soon I was wondering, Can I simply delete the partition containing win 7 or will it be more involved than that. All help appreciated. Thanks
From: Bobby Johnson on 14 Feb 2010 15:19 What is the current layout of your system? Where is Vista 64-bit installed and where is Win 7 64-bit installed? On 2010-02-14 14:38, Drew wrote: > Hi all..

From: Drew on 14 Feb 2010 18:42 Thanks for responding Bobby.. originally I had one drive (C:)with vista64 on it. I then shrank that drive using disk management and created a partition (J:) I then installed win7 64bit rc on (J:). Any other info required?

From: Bobby Johnson on 14 Feb 2010 19:00 I would think you could delete the partition without J: affecting your Vista installation on partition C:.

Bobby, I don't know whether it makes a difference or not but when I boot the computer I am given the choice of course as to which to boot to win 7 first or win vista 2nd. Will I have to do something else or when I format "J"( if that is possible) will that choice then disappear ?
