Un installing Vista RC1??

[Lennydude]

I was wondering??????////

If I install Vista RC1 it will create a dual boot system. I want to create a separate partition for the Vista which is no problem.

When and if it comes time to uninstall Vista..........what is the best way to do this? How do I go back and get that partition that was created as part of my original partition and how do I get the master boot record back to the original single boot Windows XP?

Thanks for your help

Edit the boot.ini file, then nuke the Vista partition. After that, boot into the Recovery Console and run fdisk /mbr. That should do it, but it's not meant to be easy

Well Vista doesn't use a boot.ini file, but booting into the recovery console using the xp cd should work. But I don't know. I've completely switched over to Vista as my primary OS. :Q
