    Hi,

    On my laptop, i am running vista with ubuntu. i want to switch this to vista with debian. currently grub is handling the boot, how do i remove ubuntu and install debian. I assume i will need to first give boot control to vista, then remove ubuntu.....? any thoughts?

    You can just install Debian over Ubuntu.

    i take it that doing it this way will not affect the boot loader then? or will i have to edit it when i have debian running?

    I think Debian installs a new GRUB with the correct settings over the old one (although I haven't tested it).
