Xp question ?

[colt1911]

For sometime I've been dual booting with XP and Vista 64 and I've decided to go strictly with Vista . Is there a way to delete XP which is partitioned on the same drive as Vista without reformatting Vista as well ?

Just reformat that partition with Gparted

Open Start Menu -> Right Click Computer -> Click Manage -> Click Storage -> Click Disk Management -> Right Click the XP Partition and Select Delete.

To delete the XP option from the boot menu, Open Start -> Type Msconfig into the search box -> Click Msconfig -> Select the Boot tab -> Delete the XP entry

Just reformat that partition with Gparted

You can do it within Windows.

SO what? All the OP wants to do is get rid of the XP partition.

Come on guys.... remember the thread the other week about "all working together"? - Both good ideas/solutions, both result in the desired effect so well done
