Hi guys, I haven't posted for a while but thought that I would plan ahead by asking how does one uninstall Windows 7 (other than formatting that partition) and restore things to the status-quo when one has XP, Vista and Windows 7 installed, in that order, as a multi-boot setup?

Similarly to the instructions for Vista or what?

I would imagine it is the same as removing Vista, since it is (at least from my experience with it) Vista on steroids, Vista enhanced, or however you want to say it.

LOL, love that description. Yes, I thought so, but was just seeking reassurance.

Ya, just use VBP to delete the boot entry and then reclaim your space. W7 didn't want to play nice with drivers and that's what I did. I have it on VM now.

I must have a guardian angel or be surrounded by magic, as I don't seem to have all the driver issues that others are having with Vista and Windows 7.

ya, I must have a cloud over my head. W7 would't run the drivers off my instal disk. Maybe I should have tried installing them from the hard drive.

Drivers for what? Like Vista, Windows 7 found most of the drivers by itself, I didn't have to search for any.
