XP was running just fine on this computer.
Thought I'd investigate the buzz about Windows Vista.
Bought Windows Vista Ultimate Edition at my local WalMart.
Installed Vista on a seperate NTFS partition.
When Vista first booted up it ran Chkdsk on my XP partition .. dunno why.
After running Chkdsk it looked as if Vista was going to start up but it
never did.
It stalled on a blank screen. I left it there overnite and it never
progressed.
When I reset/restart I get the option to boot "Previous Version of Windows".
I select that option and XP begins to start up.
After about 60 seconds I see a Dialog box "Logging off".
This is followed by an endless loop: "Saving Your Settings" then "Closing
Network Connections".
Here's what I want to do:
I DO NOT wish to pursue Windows Vista any further.
I wish to remove Vista and its Boot Manager.
After that I'm fairly certain I can repair my XP installation.
Will someone please advise me on how to remove Vista and Bootmgr?
