Deleting Vista RC1
Hi! I'd post on some other sites that I regular, but they're getting sick of me I have so many questions, and you all seem like a friendly bunch :)
So, I installed XP Prof on my C:\ drive, a WD Raptor 74gigs, and then I installed Vista RC1 on my D:\ drive, a WD Caviar 250gigs.
Now it asks me which Windows I want to boot every time I turn on my computer, and I never use Vista... So what's the best way to delete it? There are other things on my D:\ drive that I want to keep, should I just highlight everything other than that and hit delete? Will that mess with my boot sequence?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated,
thank you in advance.
:)

I fixed the smiley problem for you in your first post. (There's a checkbox to disable smileys.) I'm unfamiliar with Vista, so I do not know what the best way to get rid of it would be. I would suggest just booting to Windows XP Pro and modifying the boot file. An easy and safe way to do that is to right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and click Startup and Recovery. The top section should be at least fairly self-explanatory with your level of understanding. If you need any more help let us know.

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.
