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.
