Hi Oldbloke
In trying to keep it short I over simplified that bit - however you will see from the OP
Quote:
My problem is that the vista home partition is set as the active primary partition when i want the vista ultimate partition to be the primary as opposed to a logical partition.
which indicates to me that his first partition is the active primary one where he installed Vista Home, and his second partition is a logical drive
where he installed Vista Ultimate o/s.
Your suggestion of using Linux GParted is an interesting one - there is a tutorial for anyone interested

Unfortunately, as you say
Quote:
The following assumes your Ultimate partition is now a primary partition, not a logical drive in an extended partition.
It doesn't seem to be the best way forward in this case.
It also seems to me the clean reinstall method would be more straightforward.
Thanks
