How to Uninstall Windows VISTA?

[kumars]

I have installed windows VISTA RC1 on the other partition of my hard drive.. I dont know how to uninstall it keeping other data on that drive intact and also the option of selecting the OS during startup should not be shown?

Take a backup of other data and format the drive

yeah take the backup and format the drive..

Incase having fear of loosing ur boot loader then pre to formatting search this forum to fix boot loader and then start with formating.

Assuming that you have installed it on a seperate partition.
Copy all your data to another drive.
Boot into XP and format the drive.

Reboot to check.

You are done!

Next time OS should have "remove the OS" button for people who wants to remove the OS .

I agree to all ur suggestions.. but if i do it by formatting the drive, i will still have a screen showing the option to choose between Earlier version of Windows and Windows Vista.. Which i dont want..
