Ok so my friend install windows 7 and is now not happy with it, she wants to un-install it n re-install Vista im just wondering what would the simplest way be to do this? She seems to think if she just un-install Windows 7, Vista will automatically reappear on her laptop but i dont think this is right..? Anybody with any useful tips or ideas i would be real greatful for some help

Thanks,

She'll need to install Vista using the system restore disks supplied with the computer.

No you need the Vista Installation discs, and the security key.. One operating system doesn't just sit on top of the other, Vista's gone and 7 has taken its place.. Gotta uninstall 7 and reinstall Vista.

I think you can download it too and it does everything (uninstalls 7 and reinstalls Vista). However there is a price to pay....

EDIT: If any of the above is way off the mark, I work for Apple.. Nuff said'

ok ill let her know n see how it works out, the thing is she downloaded 7 illegally so that may become more of a problem..? think thats the main reason her laptop f*cked up she definetly did something wrong like .. but we can try both ways n see what works,

I think that when she runs the Vista CD/DVD it'll give her an option to choose the partition to install it to. Delete the C partition and recreate it and hey, Windows 7 is gone.

ok check her C drive, well whatever her default drive is. If there is a folder called old.windows then you can still revert back if not you might aswell format and reinstall vista.
