Hello

You uninstall not she, you reinstall Vista on top of it

You have the Vista DVD, so do a clean install with it.

As Vista is pre-installed you will need probably not the Producr Key that is on the sticker on your laptop if you use of the manufacturer provided recovery disk

If you need it, insert the product key from the sticker on the laptop case

Boot from the Vista DVD and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.

Make sure that the CD / DVD Drive (optical drive) is the 1st in the boot order.

If it's a DVD of Vista from Microsoft you have borrowed for use with your key. Here's how to do a clean install:

  • Lost windows vista cd that came with the laptop

    Hey guys,.

    I own a t500 and I lost my cd of windows vista that came with it. I had planned to reformat my computer. What are my options to get a new copy of this cd? and lets say I wanted to upgrade to windows xp or 7, so which version should I?

    Thanks a ton guys, I appreciate it.

    Microsoft's XP cd won't work, unless it's a XP OEM disc (that microsoft not distribute themselves). Also, you would need XP series No. to activate the XP operating system which you do not have.

    Try to call Lenovo and they can send it to you for free, as long as you have the remaining warranty.

  • How do I uninstall Satellite L300 - 11 q Vista and install Windows XP

    Hello!

    Please help: How do I uninstall Windows Vista from my laptop and install Windows XP?
    Should I do something with discs and seized BIOS, or I can just format C drive and then install XP CD-drive?

    How can I make a recovery disk before you uninstall Vista?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    It's very easy if you want to get rid of Vista simply boot from the Windows XP CD, format the HARD drive and install XP on partition C instead of Vista.
    That s it.

    I put t know what laptop have you but the laptop most recent are equipped with the SATA controller and the SATA driver must be installed or included in the CD of Win XP to install XP on the HARD drive. The SATA driver is part of the Manger of Intel Matrix Storage, which can be downloaded from the Intel site or page of the Toshiba driver.

    Just FYI; in this forum, you can find a lot of details in the various messages on the Intel storage Manger. Just use the search option.

    Good bye
