Remove Vista and keep XP

by firefox5000 . Updated 16 years, 11 months ago

Hello all

I would like to remove Vista. I currently have two harddrives. Windows XP home edition was delivered with the computer when i bought it. When Vista came out I installed it on the second harddrive. Its been a while and I vould like to remove the vista bootloader without reinstalling Xp home so that only the xp boot system remains. I have also XP Pro and would like to install it on the second harddrive. But Xp home is with SP3 and Xp pro with SP2. This differens shouldnt cause any problems?
I would later like to install windows 7 on the second harddrive also by the usual way of disk partitioning. Is it safe to have multiple os on the same harddrive because i have been told that they can possibly corrupt each other when installing large updates like service packs?
