Go here and get DBAN, follow the instructions the website carefully. Once DBAN has finished it's work, re-install Vista...

Or u could just leave XP and Vista on but get Vista Boot Pro here

VistaBootPRO - Go PRO with Microsoft Windows Vista Boot Manager

and use it to set Vista as default OS and set the choose which OS to boot option to 0.

That way u dont have to go through the whole formatting and installing thing.

Or u could get Vista Boot Pro and use it to set Vista as the default OS and set the choose which OS to boot time option to 0 seconds. It'd save u the bother of formatting and reinstalling the OS.
