    Well I did a XP/7 setup. The guide I gave you is slightly modified for Vista users. But yes, you should be fine afterward.

    Can use Partition Wizard Home Edition (Free). Install the program, it'll detect your drive, just delete the 7 partition, pull the bar adjuster for your Vista install up to take all free space, apply actions, restart if necessary, done.
