If you want to totally wipe Vista, then use a boot CD like gparted or Supergrub.

You always reap what you sow. Plant bad and dishonest seeds, and you will always, eventually, without fail, harvest a bad poisonous harvest.

plz ******* tell me how get rit of my windows vista home preminum for good

**FreoHeaveho** · 02-10-2008, 05:02 AM

format you hard drive.

**mattlock** · 02-10-2008, 07:14 AM

Can you access the Vista partition from XP partition? If so, backup your important data, reformat and install a fresh copy of XP. Consider it a lesson learned.

~~brian_cieslar~~ · 02-10-2008, 11:58 AM

Delete This One Plz Kind Regards Brian Cieslar

~~brian_cieslar~~ · 02-10-2008, 11:59 AM

i got 2 questions, Q1. i don't know if i can access vista partition and even i did, i don't know how, Q2. is the windows vista orginial from shops working properly or is it just bad as the pirated ones

**FreoHeaveho** · 02-10-2008, 01:32 PM

Vista works fine. No more talk of pirated copies please.

**mattlock** · 02-10-2008, 01:58 PM

How Vista works is a matter of opinion. I've had it installed on more than one occasion and still think it is the 2nd coming of Windows ME. IMHO, it's a resource hungry piece of garbage that should have never been forced upon the public, but again that is just my personal opinion.

Now to access the Vista partition, boot into XP and go to "My computer" you should see the partition that vista was installed on (Possibly D: drive) open it and browse for the files you need to save. Burn them to a CD/DVD, reformat your hard drive and reinstall Windows XP.

~~brian_cieslar~~ · 02-10-2008, 02:46 PM

fine i wont talk about pirated vista anymore and mattlock this is all i got C:\PROGRAM FILES VISTA, i don't need that crap, i just need to get rit of windows vista off my dam pc

here r screenshots

P.S Here Is An Screenshot Of My Windows.Old Folder

,After Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade Then Went Back To Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2, I Moved The Windows.Old To Desktop From My Computer C:

**mattlock** · 02-12-2008, 08:32 AM

How did go back to Windows XP?
Do you have all your original XP programs and files intact?

~~brian_cieslar~~ · 02-15-2008, 05:48 PM

Sorry For A Late Reply, Anyways The Answer To Ur Question Is

Windows Setup

To Set Up Windows Xp Now, Press Enter, Press F8 To Accept Terms And Conditions, To Set Up Windows Xp On The Selected Iteam Press Enter

C: Partition1 [ntfs] To Continue Setup Using This Partition, Press C.

Leave The Current File System Intact < No Changes >

To Use A Different Folder, Press Esc, Setup Needs To Copy Windows Xp Hard Disk. Select The Folder In Which The Files Should Be Copied: \windows To Changed The Suggested Location, Press The Backspace Key To Delete Characters, And Then Type The Name Of The Folder Where You Want To Install Windows Xp.

**mattlock** · 02-15-2008, 09:12 PM

These are the only two options for getting rid of Vista and reverting to XP.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=933168&SD=tech

My guess is that if XP is unstalled to C: currently and everything is running the way you want it to right now, then you can delete the C:\PROGRAM FILES VISTA and Windows.old. I can't say for sure however.

If it were me, I would simply back up any important data, reformat the drive, and do fresh install of XP.

The other things I would recommend is getting a good Backup/Recovery program, such as Acronis True Image, and not using illegal software in the future.

Good luck to you Brian.
