How to Uninstall windows 7 in a dual boot system

If you have installed Windows 7 or Windows Vista on top of current existing Windows XP to make the PC a dual boot system, but now decided to ditch or dump the Windows 7 or Windows Vista partition to revert to the old good classic Windows XP follow the guide below to uninstall and remove Windows 7 or Windows Vista to leave only Windows XP without having to reinstall the OS, and without affecting saved files and data.

Important: Do not use this tutorial if your dualboot system is Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

Boot up and log on to Windows XP desktop.

Insert the Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD installation disc into CD-ROM or DVD-ROM optical drive.

Alternatively, mount the Windows 7 or Windows Vista DVD ISO image on any virtual drive.

Run Command Prompt, or click directly to Start menu -> Run command.

In the command prompt or the Run text box, issue the following command and hit Enter:

[DVD Drive Letter]:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force

For example,

If the DVD drive path is F:, then enter the following:

F:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force

The step will remove the boot menu to select operating system to start.

Remove the DVD disc and restart the computer.

The computer will boot up with Windows XP installation partition.

Manually remove files and folders of Windows Vista or Windows 7, including Windows, Program Files and Users folder. If you're installing to separate partition, just format the partition to clean it instantly (with FDisk, Disk Manager of Computer Management or third party partition management software such as Partition Magic or EASEUS Partition Manager).

On the root system folder of Windows XP, delete Boot.BAK and BootSect.BAK. The two files are remnant backup leftover files of previously installed Windows Vista or Windows 7 bootloader, but no longer useful for Windows XP only system.

Tip: NT52 is the MBR (Master Boot Record) used by Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, while Windows Vista uses NT6. So if you're uninstall Windows 7 in Vista/7 dual boot system, change the NT52 in the command to NT60.

Fast Shortcut: It's also possible to format the Windows Vista or Windows 7 partition straight away, and then start the computer with Windows XP Setup CD to repair the system partition, or run the "bootsect /nt52 c:" command above from the \boot\ folder of leftover OS immediately to repair the boot partition.

Tip: When startup repair the boot record after removing an installed operating system from dual-boot or multi-boot system, always use the highest version of Windows installation DVD/CD to perform the repair. For example, in a tri-boot PC with Windows XP, Vista and 7, after uninstalling Windows 7, use Windows Vista to repair the system. If the PC is restored and reverted back to Windows XP, then use the Windows XP setup CD.

Reading Times Of India, the first Thing I do in D morning...The Ayodhya title suit

Reading Times Of India, the first Thing I do in D morning

NEW DELHI: The Ayodhya title suit was not just a dispute over a patch of land, it was being seen by many, particularly the minorities, as a test of India's commitment to secularism. So, did India pass the test successfully on Thursday? Though there are no shrill reactions to the verdict from the country's biggest minority group, there are many voices of disappointment. 

Historian Irfan Habib feels the "compromise judgment" had come at the cost of history and facts. "It is improper (for the court) to accept the ASI report on the historical fact. Weight has been given to belief. One should be careful in historical facts," says Habib. 

Though members of Muslim intelligentsia put up a brave face on TV channels, talking in politically-correct terms, in private, many accept that they see the verdict as "anti-Muslim". "The Muslims of India have been told very clearly that they have to live in this country on the terms set by the majority community. From now on we have to live in constant fear," says a former vice-chancellor of a central university. 

But others are a bit more forthcoming. Shabnam Hashmi, well-known social activist who heads Sahmat, says the verdict made her feel like a "second-class citizen". "We will not stop the struggle against irrationality and hatred but we can no longer promise to hand over a secular, democratic nation to you," says Hashmi, in her "message to the next generation". 

The Muslims are disappointed but they have not given up hope. And the verdict has not shaken their in the idea of India. "My sentiment about this judgment is in this couplet from Faiz. "Ye dil na umeed to nahi nakaam hi to hai, lambi hai gum ki sham magar sham hi to hai (The heart is despondent but not without hope, long is sorrows evening but its an evening after all)," says Syeda Hameed, a member of the Planning Commission. 

Such poetic words notwithstanding, there are fears in the community that the right-wing Hindu fanatics may now start raising old issues of "liberation of Kashi and Mathura". "Today the Lucknow court put its stamp of approval on the destruction of Babri Masjid. Can anybody guarantee us that such incidents will not happen in the future? I guess not," says the former VC. 

There is no palpable fear and tension on the streets and everybody is talking about "reconcilaition" and "moving on". This, according to some, is a sign of hope. "Despite the feeling of disappointment, this is an opportunity on both sides to use the interregnum before the time for appeals to talk," says Najeeb Jung, an academic from Jamia Milia Islamia. The Mulsims may be seeking a closure of the issue, but it's hard to deny that verdict has left them sad and disappointed.

The Beauty of Mathematics and the Love of God!

 

 

The Beauty of Mathematics and the Love of God! This is TOO cool!


Just the math part is good enough, the end is even better..  



I bet you will NOT be able to read it without sending it on to at least one other person!
 

 I received this e-mail and thought it was pretty cool!  Keep scrolling it gets better. J
Beauty of Mathematics!!!!!!!

 1 x 8 + 1 = 9
 12 x 8 + 2 = 98
 123 x 8 + 3 = 987
 1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
 12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
 123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
 1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
 12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
 123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
 
 1 x 9 + 2 = 11
 12 x 9 + 3 = 111
 123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
 12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
 1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

 9 x 9 + 7 = 88
 98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
 98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And now look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
 11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
 1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
 1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Mind Boggling....   

 Now, take a look at this...  
101%  
From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
 
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
 
Ever wonder about those people who say they
are giving more than 100%?
 
We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%...
 
How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?
 
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
 answer these questions:
 
If:

 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
 Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
 H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
 
And:

 K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%
 
But:

 A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

 L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
 
 While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
 get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!
 
 If you find this interesting share it with your friends & loved ones.
Have a nice day & God bless you!
