You can remove Vista by methods stated several times heres. But beware -
Vista will install a directory call c:\boot For ANY other Microsoft OS -
includeding DOS!! Although you can set directory permissions to - h -s -r
you STILL can't get of that directory or subdirectories
(internationalization). It will install BCD in Windows\system32. The only
solution I've found to get rid of the \boot directory is to boot Linux with
ntfs-3g drivers (r/w capability and KNOWN to be safe - but then you don't
care as you are only removing one directory and a few files. I don't have a
problem if I install Vista in its OWN partition - not shared with any the MS
OS. Then you can install 2000 XP XPx64 and even DOS and hid those OS's
from each other <for examle in DOS set LASTDRIVE=D) or in others remove
drive labels (D:, E: etc) in both Vista and the "previous" Windows using
Disk Management under Computer Management in Control Panel. Vista will eat
everything on your HD if you don't do this - and report back to Bill as
well.
