I've been dual booting with Vista & XP on two HDD's for some time now, and i've decided to go to just vista, if i just reformat the XP drive from within Vista, will it bring up any boot problems, or would it still boot into vista fine.

Or would it be more sensible to back everything up and reformat both drives and do a fresh install of vista. :)
 
Go into Disk Management and find out which partition is designated System, in the Status column. If the System partition is on the XP disk, things get a little interesting. If it's on the Vista disk, then you can format without incident.

Don't take my word for it. Shut down, unplug the XP drive, and see what happens when you boot up.
