1. I have done this many times. 1)Bot a computer from a manufacturer 2)Bot vista 1)If you got it from a manufactiorer they usually have a way to reset your computer to factory default. For instance dell has a key code that you hit with a hidden partion on you drive and if your underwarranty you can send it in. Or you may have a manufactiorer who has disks to reset the computer. 2) If you bot vista you can just re-install it! Hope this Helps!
2. I assume you want both XP and Vista to stay on the computer. 1) Boot into Vista installation DVD 2) Choose your language settings and click Next 3) Click Repair your computer 4) Choose your operating system and click Next. This should bring up System Recovery Options. 5) Click on Startup Repair After that is fixed you will have the option to boot into Windows Vista or "Previous Versions of Windows" (A.K.A. XP) when you start your computer normally. In the future, you should install XP first and then Vista.
