Moving Win 7 to another drive

[Mark]

Currently I'm dual booting Vista and 7. Vista is on drive C and 7 is on
drive D. I have an Acronis image of 7. What I'd like to do is format D and
install the Acronis image on C overwriting Vista. From what I've read,
because I installed 7 after Vista, Vista holds the boot instructions. Is
there a way I can do this without having to do a fresh install of 7?

You could boot from the 7 DVD and do a startup repair...

....and that would take care of the boot problem? Could I also use the
startup/repair disk?

The only other problem would be that you end up with the entire disk as
drive letter D: or nothing working if its assigned C: because all
registry entries would be referring to D:
