This will erase everything that is on it and install a fresh copy of windows xp/vista. Now if you want to delete your hard drive were nothing can be found on it and it will destroy your hard drive.

How do you remove Windows Vista from a new laptop?
The reason being, if you want to remove Windows Vista, you will have to either (a) Re-format the hard drive: which erases EVERYTHING ON THE DISK! or (b) perform a downgrade installation to Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro. If you reformat the disk you erase everything, including the operating system (which is Vista in this case). Since your computer has no operating system it is no longer able to function (you can still turn it on, but you get a disk boot error). You will need to re-install a different Operating System, or Vista again if you wish to do so, in order to have the computer function properly.

Viruses can be harmful in many different ways.

Can you install laptop os on a desktop?
If the installation is Windows, then it makes no difference, the OS will simply adapt the installation as long as it is a clean install from the install disk, however the drive can not simply be swapped out and booted, as some anti-piracy components of Windows will erase the installation, along with the fact that the drive will very likely not fit.
Can Windows XP and Windows 7 be installed on the same partition?
It is not possible to install any Operating System next to another on the same partition. To dual-boot Windows 7 and Windows XP, first install Windows 7, and while in the partition manager, delete all partitions and create one for Windows 7 and one for Windows XP. Then install Windows 7 to it's partition. Then install XP to it's partition. You should now be able to boot either Operating System. Note: You must install XP after Windows 7 as the Windows 7 installation wizard would want to upgrade XP. WARNING: This will erase all of the data on your hard drive. Be sure to back up all of your files before installing anything.
