Hi there, I recently had a nasty trojan/virus on my computer that completely rendered XP useless. Since I did not have the XP CD with me, but the Windows Vista Upgrade CD, I upgraded to Vista but created a separate partition on the harddrive. With the help of this forum, I cleaned the XP part and now that XP is up an running fine, I wish to uninstall the Windows Vista and reformat that part of the hard drive so that I can acess it in XP. I did a basic search online and on microsoft's website but the directions for removing Vista are not clear and the steps that I went through that it listed did nothing. Hopefully someone here can help me, since I trust this forum.
Here's is the basic info:
I have two hard drives in the computer, but the second is soley as a backup and for storage of files - thus if it will help, I can remove this hard drive before I do anything. I also have all of my files from XP backed up on this harddrive.
The main hard drive is in two partitions:
C:/ is the one with Windows XP - it has 18.4 GB left of 61.8 GB
E:/ is the one with Windows Vista - it has 121 MB left of 12.6 GB
