Clean Vista Install
 
I have inherited a PC with 3 Operating Systems - on start up I must select one of the Operating Systems - the other 2 do not work. I have no idea how to get rid of the 2 redundant operating systems. I have a new Windows Vista Full package Disc. I have backed up all my data files, photographs etc on to an external hard drive. How can I wipe all traces of the 3 XP Operating Systems and do a completely new Windows Vista install. Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks

each os is in its own partition. use a fdisk utility program to delete all those partitions.

Sorry I am not particularly IT Literate. I believe the drive was partitioned using Partition Magic - I believe all the Operating Systems are on the C Drive. I do not know what you mean by a f disk utility program.
