Windows 7: How Can I Remove Windows 7?????????
How Can I Remove Windows 7?????????
by techgal21 - 1/30/09 9:17 PMThe dual boot video that Seth Rosenblatt did has me running XP and Windows 7 in two different partitions.
Can anyone tell me the best way to uninstall Windows 7?
If I delete the files and delete and merge the partition will the BIOS still ask me what OS I want to load?
Seth, if you are listening, maybe you can do another video.

-> Windows 7 is the upcoming version of Microsoft's Windows operating system.
-> IE7 is Internet Explorer 7, the latest version of Microsoft's internet browser.
And just for the record, Windows 7 will have IE8 preinstalled.
Hope this helps,
John
Thanks, John

Gotcha! The post by stinkyknight confused me. I already use IE 7 when I have to but mainly use FF.
IE7

1. Start Windows XP.
2. Insert Windows 7 ISO DVD into DVD drive.
3. Press ‘Win + R’ to open Run command prompt.
4. Type [DVD Drive Letter]:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force and click on OK.
Note: Add the name of your DVD drive in [DVD Drive Letter] field.
5. Remove DVD from your drive and reboot the system.
6. Your computer will boot up with Windows XP installation.
7. Now you can either format the drive containing Windows 7 or manually remove files of Windows 7.
8. Finally remove Boot.BAK and BootSect.BAK from root system folder of Windows XP. Don’t delete these files if you have another operating system installed other than Windows XP.
This will hopefully uninstall windows 7 on your system. Note: this guide only works if you are uninstalling windows 7 on a dual-boot pc (Installed with windows xp)
This is how I uninstalled Windows 7 successfully. I got the information from a tech site. I do not remember the name of the site.
