Vista - how to delete vista

..

Hi,

You boot with the installation dvd and format the hard drive and run whatever OS installation you want to put on it.

Hi,

Vista is "deleted" by booting the pc with an install disk of another
operating system and removing, then recreating the system volume. Do not
just format, nor can you just install something else over it. Backup data
you do not wish to lose to removable media. Programs will need to be
reinstalled under whatever new OS you choose to install. If you recently
purchased this system, you may have downgrade rights available to use XP,
check with the manufacturer on this.

No indication the OP has an xp cd. You don't need ms to reformat a
partition. I don't see much correlation between xp and 'real OS'.
