Do you have multiple drives? Did you install Vista on another partition? Need a little more info on where you installed it.

But the basic is, edit you boot.ini to remove the vista entry, and manually remove the vista installation by deleting the approtiate folders.

@Double...

Unfortunately, Vista doesn't use the boot.ini as XP did. Removing the Vista entry in the boot.ini will need to be done after the MBR is fixed.

Click below to remove a dual boot Vista install.

Woops....thanks for the correction Morph. I just installed RC1 this past weekend and haven't had time to mess with it at all.

Sorry for the bad advice.
