This is probably a dumb question regarding installation but oh well. When I try to shrink the C:\ drive to make the partition to dual boot 7, it only allows me to shrink it by the 1.6 GB. Defragging and empty space consolidation didn't do anything. I have over 100 GB free and something like 50GB of consolidated empty space. Anyone know what the issue is?

What I did was use diskeeper pro (you can trial for 30 days) and ran the boot defragger. Also the passive mode slowly moves files to the front of the disk as well (make sure directory consolidation is checked in settings). Did that with a PerfectDisk trial, didn't seem to do anything. I'd really rather not spend $60 on another HD if possible.

I installed 7 on a separate partition but I want to run it as my sole operating system now. How can I delete the partition with Vista on it if it is the "System Partition?"

Factor Mystic posted:Boot into 7, then delete the Vista partition? The Windows partitioning software doesn't allow you to delete the system partition which is what the Vista partition is. I don't see any easy way of changing it.
