Your hard drive has 2 partitions one is Vista and one is Windows 7 you want to uninstall Windows Vista How do you do this?

Remember the fact you have two operating systems each on separate partition. Let's assume that Windows 7 is latest installed operating system. It means that Windows 7 is taking care of booting Windows. There will be two steps you need to do.
First one, you should move all your important data from partition where Windows Vista is installed. After moving your data you should format the partition with Windows Vista. NOTICE:By doing this you are going to wipe all the information on this disk. Windows 7 might not allow you to perform partition formatting because there is another Windows installed, I suggest using Windows DVD to perform formatting.
Second one, when booting Windows 7 still might (mostly) show you Windows Vista/Windows 7 select screen. This is because booting information is located in Windows 7, this is your primary operating system and it takes care of booting Windows. Now we are going to modify boot information.
- Press start (Windows Orb)
- Write "msconfig" and hit
- Select "Boot" tab.
- Select Windows Vista record and hit
