Remove a Partition from Dual Boot

[bostonmike]

Hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I currently have a dual boot machine. Win7 and Vista. I bought the machine with Vista and shortly after 7 came out. So I installed 7 and never looked back at Vista. I want to delete the Vista partition so I can regain space on the drive but it wont let me. It's an active primary partition. Even though I am logged into 7 it says that I can't delete a primary partition. Any ideas on how to proceed?

You may need to use EasyBCD to change the boot loader to only see Win7, then use disk management to delete/create partions on the vista drive or to just format it.

Thanks for the response hawkeye. What I ended up doing was removing the drive, connecting it to another computer, using the disk management from that computer to delete it.
