I have beggered XP and will need to reinstate it. What will happen if I disconnect the C: drive for the time being and boot into Vista?

Will the Vista drive automatically become C: and all references to G: be replaced by C:?

But Vista may still work. And no, G wont change to C

If you reinstall XP, you'll have to reinstall Vista as well.

Since its not a good idea, installing a previous version (XP) if a later version of Windows (Vista) is installed

It may make things worse
