    Greetings - I recently sold my Asus F8Sa to someone - and it had both XP and Vista on it. They have decided they want to use XP only and they want to recover the disk space taken up by the Vista partition. I used EasyBCD to configure the Vista boot manager - but I don't know what the steps are to revert back to (if necessary) the XP boot manager and whether or not its safe - after fixing the boot manager - to just format the Vista partition. Any help would be appreciated!!

    They should just do a fresh install of XP, it's going to be the easiest solution.
