Removing old Vista partition, but it's the active, system partition

Removing old Vista partition, but it's the active, system partition I originally had Vista installed on my laptop and installed Win7 as a dual boot option. Now I've moved everything from Vista, I have removed the dual boot option via msconfig.exe. Finally, I want to remove the Vista partition (and then extend the Win7 partition to reclaim the disk space).

"I would do what you said in the last part.

There are ways by copying the bootloader / system files then marking as active e.t.c. but it can take time and can get complicated

By far the easiest way is simply to delete the other partition and mark your new one as active then put in the DVD and allow it to repair the startup for you.

(of course, this will fail and you can have a lot of problems if you use Bitlocker on your drive... Assuming you don't!)"
