Default How to remove active XP Boot Partition? HELP!


Hello guys, I have a compaq presario running on windows vista and i decided to install windows xp (dual boot) using the instructions found in one of the forums here. Unfortunately, most of the components e.g. audio, video ethernet does not have windows XP driver, so i wasn't able to intall the VistaBootPro because i cannot connet to the internet, which means whenever i boot my laptop it goes directly to XP ignoring the vista.

My question is, since it is evident that i cannot use XP on this machine, how will I safely remove this boot partition so that my machine will start on Vista just like it normally does?

Thanks.

First...I have yet to find any hardware that does not have a driver for windows XP. There is just a little bit more searching that has to be done to locate it...google is your friend!
