I recommend VistaBoot Pro 3.3. You can use it to easily copy the Vista boot
files to all of your hard drives so that when you delete a partition you will still be able to boot Vista.

Not good solution for me, to "delete most of the XP fiolders". I have
problem that one of the programs I really need can not work in Vista on dual boot machine so I must find a safe way to unistal XP completely without need for reinstallation of Vista.
