Deleting a partition.
My desktop computer is an HP that is several years old and it came with
Windows Vista. It had Vista on the C: drive and a D: drive acting as a recovery partition. Last year, I joyfully installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I resized the existing drive to accommodate the new OS. Windows 7 is now C: and Vista is D: I'm done with Vista at this point and would like to delete all the data and recover the partition space into Windows 7: c drive. What is the best methodology for doing this? TIA |

Hope this helps Andy |

Hope this helps Andy About the only thing I would add is to make sure you have a valid backup of your existing C: drive in case something goes drastically wrong, such as a power glitch or failure during any of the above. |
