I have 3 drives. On the 1st drive I have XP. On the 3rd drive I have vista. I wanted to test vista for a while. Well I like it and now want to uninstall vista from the 3rd drive. I will then do a upgrade install on the 1st drive. Can someone tell me how to do this please. I don't want the dual boot anymore.

Make sure Hidden and System Files are viewable. Save any valuable data to another location. Use XP to delete the Vista install (plus users and files etc.) or just Format the Vista Partition (XP's Disk Management tool), make sure your boot files are not on the Vista Partition.
