Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / May 2008Remove one Vista on two Vista machine or change system partition?
I have Vista 32 and Vista 64 with dual boot. Raid 0. No XP is installed. I would like remove vista 32 and just keep Vista 64 so i reclaim disk space, etc. Or i would simply like to make Vista 64 the primary, system partition. The Vista 32 (d:) is the system, primary partition and Vista 64 (c:) is on a Logical partition. How do i remove Vista 32 and make Vista 64 the system partition without messing up the boot process? Or does anyone know how to make the Vista 64 the system, primary partition? Thanks! Rod Rod - To begin with - check via Disk Management the actual status of "C" - an OS cannot be installed on a "logical" drive - most likely "C" will be designated something like "boot, paging file, active, primary" partition. Using bcdedit, Vista;s boot manager, or a third party utility such as VistaBootPro may provide the solution. >I have Vista 32 and Vista 64 with dual boot. Raid 0.

And the color coding indicates its a logical drive. and d: (vista 32) states: system, active, and primary. I've used Vista Boot Manager, it wont be useful here. Any ideas? > Rod - To begin with - check via Disk Management the actual status of "C" - > an OS cannot be installed on a "logical" drive - most likely "C" will be [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > > Rod Thanks AJR. in Disk Mgmt the status of c: (vista 64) states: Simple, basic, ntfs, healthy, boot, page file, crash drump, local drive.
