Hello all,
I have XP and Vista in dual boot on one disk. I've been running them
both while I configured Vista with all the old apps that accumulated
on XP over the years. Now that Vista seems to be running everything
properly, I'd like to remove the XP partiiton. Specifically XP is on
the first partition, and Vista on the second.
My plan is to ghost images of both for safekeeping, then use
partitioning software to remove the existing partitions and creat a
new, larger, one for Vista. Then ghost the Vista image back to the
new partition.
Now, I expect to have a problem booting immediately because the Vista
image won't have a proper boot loader when it's the only bootable
partition. So, to correct this, I planned to use the "Boot Repair"
option on the Vista setup disk.
My question is: Will this work, and if not, what would be the best
approach?
Thanks in advance
