Why? And why have Vista and 7 on the same machine? Pointless. Anyway, you should just get rid of the Linux partition, using a live CD like SuperGrub.

Delete the partition however you want, boot from a Vista/7 DVD, go into the repair console and use fixmbr

Testing? Backup? Support? There are plenty of reasons.

Hi, Normally I duel boot with Vista and XP. But I was looking at the Win 7, so i then treble booted the system with no porblems. Then came Mint, well that GRUB was too much, so i wanted the Grub off the system. However, an cure to remove the Grub came like this, Boot off the Vista DVD, Choose Command Prompt, Type in,
bootrec/fixboot [enter]
bootrec/fixmbr [enter]
bootrec/fixboot [enter]
Exit, Then reboot your system, and the grub was gone. By [enter] press enter after each move.
