My friend installed Vista over Windows XP. The system gives the option to boot either from Vista or XP on a SATA HDD.
I tried doing the reverse. I have an HP Pavilion with Vista pre-installed. I changed the HDD Controller from BIOS to IDE from SATA. After installing XP, I never go the option to boot from Vista or XP. It boots from XP by default and HP does not provide drivers for XP anymore for the desktop I have. :'(
I have no sound now. How can I get rid of XP ?

Jump to PostWell instead of getting rid of XP totally, you can try to get what you originally wanted, by downloading a trial program called easybcd and using it to put back vista in your bootloader.
I can't exactly tell you how to uninstall xp, but if you want to fix …
Jump to PostYeah EasyBCD will do that. Using the vista dvd start-up repair will wipe over the XP bootloader and load up vista only.
