Vista - Delete Partition?

Delete Partition?

I made a partition because I want to try Widows 7. I made it 25 gigs but I want to know how to delete it and put it back into the drive I made it from. I made arrows to show you in the pic


The reason I ask is because I saw that vista takes up 35 gigs with my programs, which I dont have many of. Is the 25 enough? If it is I won't delete and make a new one with about 40gigs. I would still like to know how to get rid of it when 7 expires. Also, will 7 comunicate with the other parts in my HD, like where my vista is and the other partition?

Thanks for your help, its appreciated

Hi dandaman,

Here you go.

Disk Management - Delete and Extend

If you want to talk about windows 7, you might want to go here instead.

You'd probably want at least a 50-80GB partition for 7.

Re: Delete Partition?

You bet, yeah, head on over to the seven forum for all things 7. You can do it with 40 but the more the better, and no, it should interact with your other partition.
