The emergence of the new operating system Windows Vista has caused a lot of discontent around the world. Despite all its beauty and convenience of the new interface, a large number of flaws and errors were found in it. As a result, many users have abandoned it in favor of the older version of Windows XP.
It is necessary
- Windows XP or Seven installation disc
- another computer
Instructions
Step 1
There are many ways to remove Windows Vista from your hard drive. If you have the ability to connect your drive to another computer, do so. Start the operating system on the second computer and right-click on the hard drive where Vista is installed. Select the "format" item and start the process of deleting all information from this section.
Step 2
The second way to remove Windows Vista from your computer is to format the partition during the installation of a new operating system. Insert the Windows XP or Seven installation disc into the drive. When the computer starts booting, press F8, and in the window that appears, select your DVD drive. This is required to start the disk, not the operating system.
Step 3
When the process of determining the installation parameters comes to selecting a local disk partition, you need to do the following: select the partition on which Windows Vista is installed and click "format". If you stop at this step and turn off your computer, traces of Windows XP or Seven will remain on your hard drive. Therefore, it is customary to use this method when you really decided to install one of the above operating systems.
