Everybody needs help with this one because MICROSOFT IS NOT BEING ENTIRELY HONEST ABOUT VISTA. Vista 64 bit for dual core crashes all the time, avoid it use LINUX or XP instead it is much better and the Linux it is free to download. Vista 32 bit works OK, but you need at least 128 Mb graphics card to see the Aero effect. Vista does have a serious drawback, that is Intel will not make chipset drivers for the video display on most of their motherboards. That means that a lot of people will try to upgrade to Vista, and will have no control over the screen resolution, everything will be too big. MICROSOFT IS NOT TELLING THIS TO ANYBODY. Microsoft claims that any computer with a 800Mhz processor, A DVD-ROM and 512 MB RAM will work well with Vista-NOT TRUE!! Many systems with Windows XP will not properly upgrade to Vista. So what does this mean to the consumer, a greater expense than you anticipated, because you will have to get an Nvidia video card to get your system to work right (only Nvidia is making Vista drivers for all of their video chipsets.) or buy another computer. Wasteful spending for the consumer, probably, but that is what the PC industry is about, getting you to spend money on them. EXAMPLE: Automatic Updates Microsoft throws what software it wants in your computer, when it causes a problem, the OS generates an error report to MS. MS gets the research, and you get the problem. If you don't want your system to be a lab rat, turn off automatic updates. MS will provide free support for update issues, but if your automatic, you may not know that an update is causing a problem. So when you call MS, they charge you for the call. So now either repair your problem of buy a new PC. The industry loves Bill Gates.

Take backup of your essential data before venturing into system settings!

From the question it is evident that your C drive is the active partition on the disk and the boot loaders of Vista and XP reside on it. This makes it necessary not to format the partition C in my opinion unless you can mark the partition D as active. If your partition D is primary (not extended) you can mark it as active through computer management console by right clicking the partition and choosing the appropriate option from windows Vista. Now boot from windows vista CD/DVD and goto recovery console to issue following commands:

FIXMBR

FIXBOOT

Remove the media and reboot. You should be able to boot into Vista. Now format the partition C.

In the worst scenario if the partition D is not primary, you may have to reinstall vista in clean mode.

You would have to use the D drive as the primary drive (master) and the C drive as the 'slave' drive. It could be as simple as switching a few plugs around at the back of the HDDs (or not)

Look at the jumper plugs I'm talking about as it was self explanatory to me as the HDD had diagrams etc on them.

Or you could reinstall but I thought that was obvious

by putting the vista cd and formatting the pc again remove the xp one

well..when u install vista it should have tak3n of xp...it prolly only uninstalled the drivers but not the proggs...u should b able to select all and delete...i would run ur prob by a tech..just 4 consultation

well you can format your computer from he dos but you need an expert that's a way.and i think if you put the windows xp cd you may be able to delete it from there

back up your document , picture music etc in C drive then formate it once it will erase XP.

Delete your windows folder

just format ur c:\
