    Hi all, im new to this forum, and i have a huge problem (at least i think)
    i have an acer aspire 3680 notebook that came with vista home edition. i copied an back up disc of the computer, and went and installed window xp pro over it.(formatted first)
    I decided to go back to vista (too much of a hassle digging around for drivers to make xp work) so i used my recovery cd i made and it just copies it to acer(D)
    and xp is on Local Disk(C) and the computer always starts up in xp. How can i get rid of xp and get my vista back on???

    Any info is greatly appreciated
