Uninstall a dual-boot setup ?

M

Martin

I have a computer set up to dual-boot to either XP or Vista
(pre-release build 5744). XP is the primary or "first" OS and is on
drive C. Vista is on a second physical drive (drive D).

I'm done experimenting with this setup (I have a separate computer now
running a retail installation of Vista) and want to revert this unit
back to being an XP-only machine.

Can someone point me to some instructions on how to do this. I
particularly don't want to mess up the XP installation.

Thanks.

Boot PC with WinXP CD. Go to repair console and execute fixboot c: and
fixmbr c:

Personally I would download and install VistaBootPro and run the bootloader
section 'uninstall Vista bootloader (used to restore the legacy system). If
you are familiar with Recovery Console on the XP install disk, do a fixboot
from a command prompt.
