Hello, this is my first post and I hope asking a question right off the bat is OK.
So, I had Vista pre-installed on my new laptop and I thought I might as well install an XP partition on the small partition that came with it. I didn't bother looking at tutorials because I got through dual booting my desktop with Linux and XP just fine. So now I'm stuck at <a href="http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm?page=4">This</a> stage except I don't have a vista dvd. A friend of mine can let me borrow his but if it's easier I'm wondering if and how I could remove the XP partition and return Vista’s boot loader.
