U posted in wrong section LOL, Just boot with XP bootable CD and install on primary partition where Vista is installed, choose format with NTFS before continuing further.

Backup UR data from ma documents etc to safe place.

yup jus clear ur C: drive from the data to any other drive..

use the WindowsXP CD to do it by setting up Windows on C:

this will automatically get u rid of Vista

1. Plz check if you have list of hardware/driver cd with you. XP may not install all drivers by default.

2. backup all your data.

3. boot using a xp cd and just follow the steps. It is quite simple.

I don't think he wants to get rid of his vista installation......what could help in that case is this :

And this one looks more detailed:

Hope it helps .
