Just delete all the related files or format the drive which it's installed on.

Probably have to repair your XP install though to get it's boot loader back.

well, i couldn't get this way to work, so i have to reinstalled vista, the go back in xp pro and deleted the partition of vista, (it was easy since it was brand new hard drive and didn't had anything else) then installed xp in it, but my xp home in other hard drive couldn't get it to work, but i'll try to repair it one more time.

just out of curiosity what issues did you have with vista?

for some reason, my pc only uses maximum 54% RAM, with xp, it uses around 33%, and with vista it uses around 48%, so in vista my pc slows down. i run the memtest, and i got error i don't know why i got the error, because i haven't touched my RAM since i installed, so when i first run test (about a year ago), it was pretty much doing fine, but after installing vista i ran test i got error, i wonder if there is a way to fix this.

the other problem with vista is my dell DJ doesn't have driver for that, not even for xp 64 bit (that's why i am never shopping from dell) so i went using xp again.
