A bit of information which may potentially be useful for others: when I was removing Vista, having booted into it not one single time after almost a year, I was somewhat worried by the fact that the NTFS partition had the "boot" flag set; I didn't want to stop my machine from booting. I was assured that this wasn't what the system used (the MBR is, of course, the important thing) and that this boot flag was only used by Windows itself. This proved to be the case; after removing the NTFS partition it all continued to work as before (and I was able to stretch my ext4 partition from the Live CD).
