How to remove Win7 from my Dual-Boot?

Hello,
i have a notebook with an Win7 and an Arch Installation.
My partition layout is: [Win7] -[ Win7Pagefile] - [Arch64 / (everything)] -[Swap] - [Datapartion with all the restGB]
Now that ive switched completely to Arch i didn need win7 anymore.
How can i remove the Win7 partitions so that arch is in front in the faster areas of hdd?
Even better: can i now split the arch partiotion into separate /boot, /home, etc.?
Hope you understand my problem.
Thank you!

I know GParted .... it had f****d my entire drive earlier. I only trust my paid Acronis Disk Director, but it dosnt handle my ext4 correctly, so it is no option for moving my Arch partition.
Grub2 is on my System the Bootloader, so i know there must be sometething been edited in the grub.cfg after partitioning for proper boot.
When i delete the Win7 Partitons under Windows and move the Arch in front, are the SD*-Numbers in Arch changing??
So, when i delete tbothz win7 partitions Grub2 shouls still be working as ive installed into MBR. I think then i only have to change the sda1... for a succesful boot?
Dumb thing ia: Win7 are primary partitions (both), then all others come in a big logical one.
Best advice I can give you: BACKUP your entire Arch64 partition to another drive.  Do the same w/ your data partition.  Nuke the ENTIRE notebook HDD, repartition it to your liking and copy back.  DON'T mess with expanding/shrinking partitions.
Having no Backup possibility due to the 2.5'' hdd in the notebook!

  • How do you uninstall Windows 10 Dual Boot?

    Hello,
    I am running a dual boot installation of Winodws 8.1 and 10 Techical Preview, and I like to know how do you uninstall the Windows 10 from the dual boot scheme?  I think I've uninstalled previous beta versions of windows 8 by erasing the partition it
    was installed into and that was it.  Is this the correct way to remove window 10 too? Just asking, since the graphical version of the OS boot screen is present in this dual boot installation, does that change anything.

     Logon to your Win 8.1 > press the Win logo key and R key . You are now at Run window> at the Run box type diskmgmt.msc > OK
    You are now at Disk Management window > right click at the partition that house your Win 10 TP > click Delete Volume > the partition is now UNALLOCATED.
    At the left of it is your Win 8.1 partition. Yes ?
    If yes, right click at Win 8.1 partition > click Extend Volume > click Next > at Select the amount of space in MB, type in the maximum available space shown for the unallocated space in MB > Next >  Finish
    The space shrunk for Win 10 partition is now back to your Win 8.1

    Photos taken with the phone can be deleted by selecting them and hitting the little wastebasket icon in the right bottom corner.
    Photos you did sync to your phone, can only be removed by deselecting them in the photo pane in iTunes, the following sync will remove them from the phone.

    Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a  polyphonic stereo mix ?
    If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
    The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
    Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
    1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
    2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
    3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
    4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
    5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
    6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
    7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.

  • How to remove Unicode from XML file

    I get following error when unmarshal xml:

    Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
    Thanks

    These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

    How to remove Seperator from check-in and profile check in pages
    The seperator is included on the checkin pages, which is present in the std_page with name "std_namevalue_separator", this is called by td_document_checkin_fields and std_document_file_fields.
    Defination of include:
    <@dynamichtml std_namevalue_separator@>
    <$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
    <tr>
         <td width="<$captionFieldWidth$>"><hr /></td>

    I have to remove the following include from some of the profile check in page.
    Please suggest if anyone have some idea, how to proceed.
    Thanks,

    Without writing a component, you can put this code in the "side effects" box in the desired profile(s). This code removes the horizontal rule, and inserts a non breaking space in its place.
    <$setResourceInclude("std_namevalue_separator","<$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
    <tr>
    <td width=\"<$captionFieldWidth$>\"> </td>
    <td width=\"<$captionEntryWidth$>\"> </td>
    </tr>
    <$endif$>")$>YMMV. The non-breaking space may get stripped out in the forum.

  • How to remove text from .swf animation?

    how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
    in fla file. Flash 8.

    exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
    on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
    'arrowTool' and hit delete.
    If you are referring to a textField that you want to
    eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
    sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
    in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
    'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
    OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
    OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
    later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
    at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
    of these works for you.

  • How to remove myself from/leave a team?

    Hi
    I'm using Visual Studio Online in my software development classes. The problem is that the "Accounts list" on my Visual Studio Online portal is crowded with projects from past years. A clean-up is needed.
    I found this solution (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/80057697-38d7-4161-8564-13c630943484/vs-tfs-online-how-to-remove-myself-from-a-team-?forum=TFService), but the problem in order to apply it is that I have no more contact with
    a lot of those students + most of their accounts are expired.
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks in advance!

    PS: my apologies for any linguistic mistakes... English isn't my mother tongue.

    Hi Evert,
    Based on your description, seems you're the owner of the Visual Studio Online account. If you want to remove your account from the teams that expired, then you can delete the teams directly in team project administrative page of team web access.
    If you only want to remove your account from the teams, then you can click the team and remove your account in administrative page.
