You cannot 'get rid of the o/s'
Your post does not give enough detail to work out what you have done, and
thus how you would recover

Well, I have tried all the commands line and nothing I am trying to
delete the OS from a hard drive which after a backup restore did not
load Windows, so now I have it on my laptop and I am trying to get rid
of Vista so I can reload without loosing all my data on the HD.
Anyone???
