hey all,
My laptop is running both vista and xp in a dual boot configuration. However, i want to remove XP now. Does anyone know how this can be done without losing what is on the Vista side of the boot?

Why remove xp remove vista. Partition magic should do the trick. Delete the partition, then you could expand that unallocated space. You'd probably have more disk space available if you removed vista anyway.

Well, maybe he likes Vista. In either case, Partition Magic will do the trick.

if you want to keep the stuff, just copy it somewhere else while you're in vista. then expand the partition with PM or whatever you like to use.

here's the thing. i didn't configure this system. and cody, just because you don't like vista doesn't mean others don't too.
