Hi VG,

Thanks a lot for your very helpful guide.

This should've been provided by Microsoft but all they have on their site are instuctions for removing 7 from Vista.

But Thank you for your guide.

Regards,

^^ You can disable the startup boot loader by going to System Properties -> Advanced tab -> Startup & Recovery section -> Settings and then uncheck ""Time to display list of OS" option. Once you disable boot loader, you can safely format the partition which contains new Vista. Make sure its not installed on C: drive otherwise you'll not be able to boot.

I have two versions of Vista currently on my computer, and I need to delete the newest one that should not have been installed. I've tried disabling the boot menu, but both still return when I restart the computer. How do I uninstall one of these two since I don't have hard disk space to keep both?

^^ You can use any 3rd party partition software like Partition Magic to create a new partition after taking space from an existing partition.

^^ I thought "fixboot" would not be required. Otherwise these commands have been mentioned in solution of Points 9 and 10 in "FAQ" topic mentioned at top:

Hi.
I did a bit of googling, found that I'm supposed to "fixboot" after running "fixmbr".
Did that, and problem is solved
Thanks for the help anyways
