Please help me get rid of this partition in Vista!!!!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I installed Vista today and everything works very well. But I hate ACer really bad right now. The installation of Vista causes a backup of all your files and saves it in the new Operating system. The file is called Windows.old. Anyhow, I finnished upgrading to Vista and only have 1gb left on my C: partition in Vista. I have tried all kinds of partition software including Partition magic and none are getting rid of this stupid partition. I am getting ready to send the windows.old file over to the D: drive but would be much easier I thought if I coiuld just delete the partition. Anyhow, I have a TM8200 and any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid that's what happens when you upgrade an OS, as apposed to a format and clean install.

If it's a simple file, why don't u try deleting it? I don't see why ur using partition software if you say its a file on ur C: drive.

i just can't stand this partition. I wish there was an easy fix or some kind of fix at all. I know ifI bought the full Vista install version then I ould bypass this problem but it is too expensive.

Delete windows.old.
Have you tried shrinking the partition you don't want in Vista?

Whoa there Hoss! I bought the ultimate 'upgrade' and did a clean install of Vista 64. It is an option at the beginning.
