vista uninstallation

I have installed a clean copy of windows vista on a hard drive that contained my only copy of windows xp, i do not have a disk to reinstall it if i format the c drive, is there any way i can get a disk or uninstall vista, i do not need to keep any information, ps. it is all on one partition.

Sorry to severly disopoint you but their is no way to get rid of it with out reformating and reinstalling windows.

I upgraded from windows xp pro to vista beta 2 and now my pc cannot read any cd's only the windows vista dvd so how do I uninstall vista if I cant run my windows xp install cd?

I had the same problem as you do. But now it's okay. What I did was to download Sonic RecordNow! trial edition (a customer support assistant told me to do this). I don't know if it would work on your PC. One more thing I discovered is that this beta version of Windows Vista read the CDs slower. So you must pay close attention on the green light on the CD-ROM to show a sign that the CD in the drive is being read. If there's no more light, and nothing happen, then it's the problem with the settings of the computer. Try going to the Control Panel and choose Autoplay. Choose the settings for all the media format. I suggest to choose Open Folder if there is that choice. Hope this would work.
