Hi,
Talk about angry i return from a 3 week break @ Egypt and still
feeling down i find my son has ver installed my Vista Home Basic which
was working fine b4 i went away with what he said he didn't know a
pirate version of Vista black edition. Knowing i would be most angry i
now find i cannot go back to my old version any help on what i can do to
1) Delete all trace of Vista Black

2) Get my old operating system back

the vista basic disk when installed only gives me to options reboot and
some other at the bottom which is no good

I would think the only way to remove all traces of Vista Black would be
to backup whatever data you can, then wipe the HD and use your Vista
Home Basic disc to reinstall the OS, or your recovery disc. Whichever
you have.
