I installed windows 7 in a different folder and I have XP running on another folder! Now I want to uninstall Windows 7 from my computer, also I want to remove the start up screen which lets me choose between windows 7 and earlier version of Windows! Can someone please give me a step by step answer??

Sure I can help you with that. To get rid of Windows 7, you will have to format the partition that it is currently installed on. To do this, you will have to put the DVD that contains the ISO image back into your DVD drive and boot form the disk like when you installed it. Once you get to the screen asking you what drive/ partition that you want to install Windows 7 on, click the button for more options, and then select the format button (please note that this will delete ANY data that is on that partition.) Once the formatting is over, you can just turn off the computer and then boot it back up. As to the start up screen, you will have to open the control panel, then open the system icon. From there, go to the advanced tab and then down to the startup and recovery settings button. From there you can set the OS what Windows will boot up into and if it displays the OS select screen.Hope this helps!

Dont sure if there is an un-installation procedure. If you have it on a different partition can boot into the other and format the partition Seven is installed on. You then remove the Boot Entry.. You can do this various available programs.

i would boot frm win xp, manually delete all windows 7 files ( shift + del) and then edit boot.ini to restore it to the normal booting

Go to www.pro-networks.org and download a program called vistaBootPRO. Install it on your default o/s either vista or xp. Run the program and it will delete the bootloader for windows 7. All you have to do next is delete the folder with W7 in it.

I am not exactly sure how you would edit this information for your exact purpose, however, this is how you change the boot information for Vista, so you could include XP, (which was already installed) as a boot option on a computer in Vista. Windows 7 and Vista use the same Boot Startup files, and can not be edited by simply going to the boot.ini file, as previously suggested by someone. The boot file for Vista and Windows 7 becomes part of the actual Partition information on the drive.Hope this helps you some. (Also, please note, the following came from another forum awhile back, I had it saved in my personal files for future reference in case I needed it again, and forgot to place in that file the location of it's original author, so if the author see's this, please add your information, as I am not trying to take credit from someone else.) 1. Insert the Vista (Windows 7) disk into DVD-ROM. 2. Click Start, click Accessories, right-click the command-prompt shortcut, and then click Run as Administrator. 3. Type the following command at a command prompt and press Enter: Drive:\boot\Bootsect.exe /NT60 All In this command, Drive is the drive where the Windows Vista installation media is located. Note The boot folder for this step is on the DVD drive. 4. type the following commands at a command prompt and press Enter. Note In the commands below, Drive is the drive where Windows Vista is installed. Drive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Windows XP" Drive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=x: (Note: x: is the drive letter for the active partition. For example, if XP is installed on C drive, device partition=c: ) Drive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr Drive:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast 3. Restart the computer.
