Is there any way to deactivate Windows Vista RC1 (Build 5600)?
To make it clearer, I have already activated Vista and want to
deactivate it.

There is no deactivate option. You "deactivate" Vista by uninstalling it.
The question is why would you be concerned about deactivating it?

You do not deactivate Vista, Or Windows XP, or Windows 2000 etc.
You delete the partition that the O/S is installed upon and don't use the
O/S on that computer again.
When you install Vista on a different computer you will be asked to
activate. You will likely have to make that phone call to do so.

Oh, OK. See the problem is, I have a triple-boot system (Windows XP
Pro, Ubuntu Linux, and Windows Vista RC1). And Windows Vista is about
to expire on June 2007, so I need to remove it. When I boot up my
computer, I see the GRUB bootloader (for Linux). It gives me the
option of booting Ubuntu or going into the Windows Boot Manager. When
I go into the boot manager, the Vista bootloader boots up and gives me
the choice of an Earlier version of Windows (XP) or Windows Vista. I
have 5 partitions. 2 linux partitions and 3 Windows (NTFS) partitions.
The 2 linux partitions are the main Ubuntu partition and the "linux-
swap" partition. The 3 Windows partitions are C, E and F. C is my
Windows XP partition, E is my Windows Vista partition, and F is my
Docments partition (where all my documents are kept). What I need to
do is remove Windows Vista and its bootloader and then merge the E
partition into the F partition. How do I do this?
