    Since Vista has proved itself to me, I barely use XP anymore and want to know how to remove the extra OS installation on my system

    I also want to remove all the partitions as well.

    google for a program called easybcd. you can remove the dual boot from there easy (program to easily and safely modify your boot file) from there your other OS will just be a seperate partition that wont give you a boot option.

    You can delete windows off of it if you want or leave it there incase you ever want it for an emergancy. I however wouldnt merge the two partitions back together because having 2 partions is more benifitial than one, even if you are using only one OS. Keep your media on the 2nd partition, if you ever have to format and reinstall your OS for some reason, you wont lose your media and just have to install the OS again.
