I was wondering??????////

If I install Vista RC1 it will create a dual boot system. I want to create a separate partition for the Vista which is no problem.

When and if it comes time to uninstall Vista..........what is the best way to do this? How do I go back and get that partition that was created as part of my original partition and how do I get the master boot record back to the original single boot Windows XP?

Thanks for your help 🙂

Edit the boot.ini file, then nuke the Vista partition. After that, boot into the Recovery Console and run fdisk /mbr. That should do it, but it's not meant to be easy 😛
 
Well Vista doesn't use a boot.ini file, but booting into the recovery console using the xp cd should work. But I don't know. I've completely switched over to Vista as my primary OS. :Q
