Question:

How to remove Windows Vista Business from my laptop?

Ok so I just put Vista Business on my laptop because my college said that I need it (god only knows why). When I finished the upgrade, however, I found that my laptop will no longer connect to my wireless network, and it deleted 2 papers that I need for college in 2 weeks. I want to remove the Vista Business and restore my laptop to how it was when I bought it. Is this something I can do myself or do I need to take it to a specialist. Note: I have the restoration discs from when I first got the computer, and the people at the circuit city that I bought it from told me that if my comp ever crashed or something then those discs would restore it to how it was when I first bought it. Thanks ;)

  1. If you want to recover your files download this http://www.softperfect.com/products/file... to a flash stick (no install needed) using another pc, put the stick in your Vaio and run the soft.

    Go here http://www.vaio-link.com/tutorials/recov... , put in your model and follow the instructions; you will need the recovery disks.

    Basically you will need to modify the boot order to put the cd first (let it like that forever, it will be easier in the future), boot from the recovery disks and follow the procedure.


  2. first back up all data you need on a dvd thin buy a windows xp cd and wipe the drive installing new os, thin go to manufactures web sight and install drivers. i advise you not to do this your self because some drivers are hard to find. find a friend that knows computers  

  3. you can do a system restore through all programs>accessories>system tools>system restore

    that should help you

  4. If it is a simple Vista upgrade from XP just use the system restore to a time before you put Vista on your computer.  That should take Vista off and restore XP.
