[*GandaBerunda*]

If you have decided you no longer want Windows Vista then there is an easy way to get your PC back to normal.


Use these instructions on the basis you are using XP and using a dual boot with Vista on drive D or other.


Place your XP disc in the tray and reboot. Press any key to boot from CD
Once you have reached the setup page, press R to start the recovery console


You should eventually see a screen listing 1) XP and 2) Vista. Itwill ask you which operating system you wish to fix/restore. Press 1for XP and hit enter. It will ask you no admin password, if you have nopassword, leave it blank and hit enter.


Now at the command prompt type fixboot. It will give you a warning and ask if you are sure. Press Y and hit enter.


Now at the command prompt type fixmbr. Again it will give you a warning and ask if you are sure. Press Y and hit enter.
That is it. Now type exit and your system will reboot with only XP on the boot.


Now when you get back into XP you will see your vista D drive isstill there and you can access your files. This is your chance torecover any files you forgot to backup. Simply browse the D drive forthe files you want and bring them back to your C partition. When youare confident you no longer want the vista drive, simply right click itand select format.
Its as easy as that.

How to install the Recovery Console
You can install the Recovery Console on your computer to make it available if you cannot restart Windows. You can then select the Recovery Console option from the list of available operating systems during startup. Install the Recovery Console on important servers and on the workstations of IT personnel. This article describes how to install the Recovery Console to your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer. To install the Recovery Console, you must be logged on as an administrator.

Although you can run the Recovery Console by starting directly from the Windows XP CD, it is generally more convenient to set it up as a startup option on your startup menu. To run the Recover Console directly from the CD, see the "How to use the Recovery Console" section.

To install the Recovery Console, follow these steps: 1. Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Open box, type d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons where d is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive.
4. A Windows Setup Dialog Box appears. The Windows Setup Dialog Box describes the Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click Yes.
5. Restart the computer. The next time that you start your computer, "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" appears on the startup menu.

Alternatively, you can use a Universal Naming Convention (UNC)-established connection to install the Recovery Console from a network share point.

Note You may receive an error message that is similar the following:
Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.
