My dad gave me a laptop of his that has both Vista and XP on it. He is unsure how to remove Vista and I'm pretty computer illeterate :pt1cable:

Can anyone tell me the best way to simply remove Vista from the PC? It has 2 harddrives but I'm not sure which he has Vista on.

Thanks in advance for your time and advice!

Boot to Windows XP and format the drive that XP is NOT installed on. Simple.
