I downloaded by Windows vista on drive D error. I want to uninstall it. How do I do that?
I was getting error messages when I tried to update windows. The help page proposed that I have download windows vista on the disc that came with the computer when I bought it. By mistake I downloaded on the D drive and I lost all of my programs (internet, program of virus etc...) I can switch back to C drive on reboot, so I can access the internet and all my programs but still get an error message when I try to use Update Manager
Hello KurtHansel,
1. do you have dual boot at startup options when you try to start?
2. are you still able to boot to the old version of Windows Vista that is installed on the C drive?
3. What do you mean exactly when you say that you want to uninstall?
If you have installed Windows on another drive, you will have a dual-boot option. You can uninstall Vista by reformatting the drive. You can refer the link that will give you information about this below:

Hello
There are several methods to reinstall Vista.
This can help you (download files and make your own DVDs):

It is a download Vista Ultimate, but attenuated futher information in this response
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:
You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:
"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.
And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

I have windows vista on this computer and I want to remove it and add windows xp.
I have Windows Vista on this computer and I want to remove it and replace it with Windows XP Professional. Whenever I tried to do, I succumbed. I tried to just boot from the cd and install xp and it tells me that the version on the computer is newer than the one I am trying to install and then gives me no option besides. I left and I restarted in safe mode and the command propt tried to fdisk and he said no authorized for this. When I try to format it is said that volume id and I don't know who. I've never been so lost trying to remove a platform in my life. I would like to have an answer to this problem, thanks and have a blessed day, Robin
Hi Robin,
· What is the type of disc you are having? It's a drive to upgrade or full version?
· How many partitions are present on the computer?
· Why would you downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP?
You need demarrer start from the installation disc, choose the partition where Windows is installed (ideally the C drive). Format it and then go to the Windows XP installation.
Let us know if you need more assistance.

I have a hp laptop and the original key of windows behind the laptop which is glued is half damaged then, how can we get that original key again?
Hi yayatisharma,
Product key Finder programs are USELESS for Vista computers preinstalled, as they find the product key of plant manufacturers, which is used for installations of mutiple during Assembly of the computer.
This key will not help you reinstall Vista!
If you communicate with HP they will post you Recovery DVD for a low price to reinstall Vista and they do NOT require a product key
Or ask the use of the recovery Partition, which must be copied to the hard drive HP
