Removing Vista from dual boot.....

[ooEy]

Ive decided to take Vista off my main PC for a bit and just keep XP. My problem is that im dual booting so when the PC boots iget the choice of vista or "older version of windows" if i just format my vista HDD will that remove everything and just boot me into XP?


Thanks in advance.....

hehe I did this. It still comes up with the boot to "earlier version of windows".

I guess you need to edit the boot ini files or summin so it only boots to the XP. No idea how to do it though

Boot your computer in to Windows XP.
Ensure you have the Vista DVD image emulated or in the DVD drive.
Go to “Start” and “Run”. Type in “e:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force” (without quotes, and replacing e: with the drive letter of your Vista DVD).
Restart the computer, and you will notice the boot selection menu is gone.
Format the partition/drive where you had Vista installed.
Remove two files (Boot.BAK & Bootsect.BAK) on your XP drive’s root folder (C, these were backup files of your previous bootloader, now no longer useful.
Optional: Restart to ensure it still works.
Use your partition software to merge your partitions together.
