Please be more descriptive in the future. Me like many other long time users dont get these abbriviations.
Anyway to answer your problem boot from the Vista DVD. By the look of it you need to remove the partition. Go to Custom and on the partitioning phaze format or delete the vista partition. Contact your supplier for a cd. You should have been given a form to order one for about $5.

You cannot uninstall Vista, you have to format the partition it is installed on. -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

This doesn't delete the boot manager (in case of dual boot with WinXP).

Try booting with the XP install disk, then at your FIRST opportunity to do a "Repair", go to the Repair Console, enter your Administrator password (NOT your own password, but the password created when you first installed XP), and type "fixmbr"<ENTER>
You will get an error, but ignore it, and go ahead and finish the "fixmbr" process. This should remove the Vista boot manager, and return the XP boot manager.
This does work to remove the LILO boot-loader. It should restore your XP boot loader.
Of course, I could be way off the track, since I have yet to get Vista installed on my Intel iMac. Just waiting for the delivery of my Vista DVD from Microsoft.
