How do I keep Vista and delete Xp partition?

Jan 5th, 2007

How do I delete Xp, reallocate Vista Partition and delete the dual boot
manager from Drive C?

All my personal data is on a different drive I just dont want to reinstall all my software. I have a Hirens Cd that contains Partition Magic. I am just not sure what the sequence should be to accomplish this nor what to look out for when doing it.

I already have Vista on one partition(C

Xp on another partition(D

.
Both are on the same physical drive. When I boot the boot manager
asks me if I want Vista or earlier Win version.

No really an answer to your question - I'd just like to know which you installed first - XP or Vista ? Am I correct in assuming you are using Boot Magic ? Thanks
