You will need to try and see if it deletes it.
If he doen't, follow these tips.

Using the F8 method:
- Restart your computer.

- Select the Safe Mode with networking with the arrow keys.
- Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
- To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
