Remove Windows Vista From Computer
Windows Vista Computer For Sale
Hi,
Some System maker's provide Recovery Options or Partitions to allow you to revert back to a factory level
install which also wipes all data.
This tells you how to access the System Recovery Options and/or Vista disk (some makers have other methods)

You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have the Vista DVD's you can do this however be sure to
totally backup your data off the drive and you will need to reinstall your programs. If you do not have
Vista Disks you can buy them from your system maker cheap. If you do not care about existing programs
then you can do a complete fresh install - just select the format options which wipes the entire disk (this
erases all data as well).
