I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 as the Primary Partition. I have it dual booting into Windows 8. I use Windows 8 all the time, so am looking at getting rid of Windows 7 without having to rebuild.
As the bootmgr is located on the Primary partition (windows 7) I can't just delete the partition. How do I make the Windows 8 Partition, which is a logical drive, a primary partition, so I can then edit the bootmgr and delete Windows 7 partition???
