I have 2 HDD partition on my PC, C & D. I installed Windows XP on partition C, and Windows Vista on partition D.
After using Vista for a week and testing all my favorite apps to make sure they work on Vista, I want to uninstall XP and use Vista solely, but I can't find any option to uninstall Vista (either from Vista itself or from XP). The only solution I can think of is to delete the Vista's folder in partition D, tried that, and it won't work. I can't delete that folder at all. I was prompted with this error:

Tried deleting the folder in Safe mode and even using Unlocker and I got the same error.
Is there any way I can uninstall Vista / delete Vista folder without reformatting partition D? I have lots of other files in that partition and there's no easy way for me to backup them other than burning them all in DVDs which will cost me lots of time & money.
sol.1
boot vista installer from DVD, reinstall vista by clean install into the empty C: partition. Dont touch the D: in the setup procedure. And if it boot correctly, then you can move the files from drive D, then delete the vista files in drive D.
sol.2
format ur XP partition, and move ur file from D to C after that. Boot from vista DVD, clean install into the either partition, (do not choose to format)
btw, if you CLEAN install Vista after XP, you can just format the XP partition, it will automatically boot into vista, if its not, just insert vista DVD and ask for automatic error recovery
