Remove Vista Beta 1 Bootloader
1. Open command.com in your Windows XP/2000 Install.
2. Go to the root of your C: drive (as defined in your Windows XP/2000 Install).
3. Key in cd boot to navigate to the boot directory.
4. Key in fixntfs -xp -all and hit enter.
5. Reboot.
Optional Step: If you're really cautious, or just want to be entirely Longhorn-free, grab your XP/2000 Installation CD and copy ntldr and ntdetect.com to your C: drive and overwrite the originals.
--
There you go, your original XP/2000 Boot sector is restored!

Alternate method:
Recovery Console also works as well by doing fixboot with the windows XP cd.

The reason you'd need to use this is if you installed this with XP as a dual boot, Vista Beta adds a new bootloader. If you want to go back to the XP style bootloader after you've removed Vista beta, the procedure above will take care of that.
