You don't "uninstall" an operating system. You wipe the hard drive and start over. Before you do that, do you have another operating system available? Windows will not work without a valid product key. You cannot use your Vista key to install XP. A new copy goes for anywhere from $50 - $200. Good luck.

Well i Suggest That You Should Install Windows XP On This System Because The Configuration Of Hardware Would Mess Up Everything In Case Of Windows Vista Installation..

There are 2 ways of UNINSTALLING WINDOWS VISTA


1) Using MS-DOS PROMPT and for that u need to have good expertise with the MS-DOS so that u can RUN DEBUG COMMAND on the hard drive

2) Method Is Easy .. it is to install WINDOWS XP and after its installation WINDOWS VISTA would be uninstalled

Temme if u need HELP in re-installing WINDOWS XP....

I would suggest downloading a free boot CD image such as UBCD or Hiren's Boot CD, burn it to a cd and boot with that, those both contain utilities that will let you erase the drive completely allowing you to install a different operating system.

You can get UBCD and more info here: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

Good Luck!
