Remove Vista from an XP/Vista dual boot

Decided you don't want Vista, or perhaps you are ready to upgrade your XP, but don't want 2 copies of Vista on your computer. Here's how to remove Vista and it's new bootloader from your system.

not too difficult, simply load into XP and format the partition Vista is currently installed on. Since the Vista bootloader has control of the boot, there is no need to modify the boot.ini of XP.

Restart your computer with the XP cd in the drive, if you don't you will be prompted to pick an operating system. Once into setup, choose repair console.

A DOS prompt appears, and type the following:
fixmbr
*this will essentially separate XP and Vista

fixboot
*this will check that Vista is no longer present and put the XP boot.ini loader back in place.

Restart and Vista is history.
