remove xp drive and make vista boot

[zetachi]

Here is my scenario.

I had XP installed on 74GB raptor drive. I added another disk and installed Vista. I no longer use XP and want to remove the drive, format and install in a new system.

It appears that XP is C and is the boot drive. If I remove it the system no longer boots. I was able to remove the boot reference so it boots right into vista but no matter what i try I can't remove the XP drive.

Below is the display (debug) mode from easyBCD

You will have to make the Vista drive the system active drive and then repair the bootlaoder.

It won't let me. It's a logical drive.

You must have at least one Primary partition on the drive for the bootmanager to work. If you've installed Vista to a logical disk inside an extended partition, you'll have to make one of your primaries "active" then repair the Vista boot, and Vista will install its bootmgr and BCD to the active partition (It doesn't have to be in the same partition as Vista - as you can see from your current configuration)
You can have 3 primaries, and any number of logical disks inside 1 extended partition. If it was a new disk why didn't you put Vista inside one of the primaries ?
