Instructions to format Vista partition when logged inside XP

If you don’t do this, the boot manager will be still present after you remove Vista, even if you’ll have only one OS (win xp) on yer PC!

Here’s what you do before formating vista disc from windows xp - So i did boot the vista in safe mode (the serial was expired, that was the only way you can still access vista control panel), then somewhere in computer properties in control panel switched win xp (previous windows version) as default on start up, and left 0 seconds for boot menu (so the boot menu don’t show up when there will be no more vista). after that i restart back into XP, format vista disc (disc D - properties - format - ntfs = 40minutes reading book and drinking tea) and everything works!

Hope this post helps you to get rid of old Vista versions or solve the boot manager shizzle! ;)
