I’ve not gotten any Lytebyte news letters lately. Have you just been inactive ? I suspect you’ll be very busy now that Win 7 is out. I would like to see detailed information about upgrading from Windows XP Pro? Is there a safe way to do it without having to having to reload all of your applications ?

Hello. I have a question here. If I delete the OS from dual boot, will my files that are located in that particular partition be deleted too? Does this method just remove the windows 7 OS, or everything including the files in that partition?

Appreciate your reply!

I didn’t think of that. I’ll give that a try. but why wasn’t I able
to format or delete the other unallocated partition?

Thanks

@Truman, If you want to increase the partition you have, you should already have some other free unallocated space. So first you have to shrink another volume and then you will be able to extend this partition along with that. check how to shrink or extend partition in vista for more

I followed the directions above to remove Windows 7 from the bootloader and the partition on my dualboot Vista/Win 7. I got to
the last step where I was to format the partition where Win 7 was.
It’s now just an unallocated partion. When I right click on it, I am not given the format dialog, I am given the same dialog as when I created the simple volume, e.g. New Simple Volume, New Spanned Volume (grayed out), New striped volume (grayed out), properties, and Help.

What happened to the format option? How do I reclaim the unallocated partition.

The reason I’m doing this is that I originally created a simple volume of 18GB that would just hold Win 7, so now I wanted to increase the partition size so I could install some apps. I think I’m going to like Win 7, but I’m stuck not being able to reclaim the unallocated partition. Please help
