no just boot from windows XP cd and press R for repair... and then give the commands.. :

BOOTCFG /Rebuild

and the restart.... you are done.. then only your windows XP will start.. now just format the partition in which your VISTA was installed... :D:D

hey thnx guys for the reply.....

but i used another method...and it worked like a charm...

i used the bootsect.exe in the vista dvd..

i.e. type this command in winxp start->run dialog--

i:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force

i is ur DVD drive....

and then restart.....the boot loader will be gone...
and then format the vitsa partition...and delete boot.bak and bootsect.bak
from root drive...
