To have a fresh installation of Vista over existing XP, boot from DVD drive. This method works if you have one partition, e.g. Drive C, is Active.

i now am running a dual boot from the same hard disk, therefore, same partition and want to get rid of xp, even if it means formatting the drive again
more info that might help is that i installed it by booting from cd through bios....ummm, thats about all i can think of for now
any help would be much appreciated!!
