having dual booted for a while now, i have decided that i want to get shot of XP. everything i use works in Vista now, and XP is taking up valuable HD space.
i have XP (which i installed first) installed to (c:) and Vista to (d:) on XP, and vice versa on Vista. i have Vista as the default OS.
anyone able to assist me in safely removing the XP installation?
thanks
I'm not sure if this helps you but, I just got rid of XP with GParted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php) on my computer.
(I deleted both partitions and made my hard drive one and reinstalled Vista)
*please do back up everything important
You can also use Disk Management in Vista to delete the XP partition.

Also if a boot entry for XP is left in the boot menu you could use something like EasyBCD to remove it.
