I had Windows XP installed (first) in a primary partition: [P1]
I created a second primary partition: [P2], and installed Windows 7-x64, from a DVD, on [P2].
Everything went smoothly: Win7 installed its Bootmgr and \BOOT on [P1], and the rest of the system on [P2].
Dual booting works fine, Win7 assigns C: to [P2].
I now want to get rid of the Windows XP partition, I tried the following:
1 - Copy Bootmgr and \BOOT to [P2]
2 - Make [P2] the active partition
3 - Boot from the Win7 DVD and "Repair"
This didn't work (too simple minded?): no boot at all (machine hangs).
I undid (2) and got the previous situation back.
Can EasyBCD help here?
TIA
