You can just delete, or you can format the HDD better... Should not be a problem.

What I recommend to you, is to install Vista on your primary HDD (I suppose where you have XP)

.

Actually, then, I will just go and delete the folder.  Windows Vista is installed on a faster HDD therefore I have no intentions of moving it to the first slower HDD.

A good reason to leave it there... But you can still move the port of the HDD to the primary. do it just if you reinstall Vista, I'm not sure, but if you do it you can get some problems with the installed application that may be on the D driver, while if you change it it will be recognized as a C drive...

I do remember a problem on a IDE HDD a long time ago, but not remember the exact problem of that... But I could not open some applications I created on a secondary HDD when I put the HDD on another computer. But thinking now, i think it was diferent

Once the OS is installed and the partition letter D (or any other letter) is assigned, you cannot change it without reinstalling the OS.

 

Moving the New hard drive to sata0 port will not change the drive letter of the installation, so it is safe to do. If it was installed as D, it will remain D.

Hi

If you dual booted XP and Vista and you format the c:\ drive with XP on it

Vista will not boot because the Vista boot manager is on the XP c:\ drive .

Hope you read this before you format c:\
