Did you read the EUL as it states that to remove 7 you need to re-install Vista or XP after reformating

Please do...
Do install the Beta only on a dedicated test computer.

Do make frequent backups while testing the Beta. You can back up files to an external hard disk, a DVD or CD, or a network folder. (See How to backup a PC.)

Do prepare a recovery disc. A recovery disc restores your computer to its out-of-the-box state. Most computers come with one. If yours didn't, contact your PC maker.

The Windows 7 Beta will stop working on August 1, 2009. To continue using your PC, please be prepared to reinstall a prior version of Windows or a subsequent release of Windows 7 before the expiration date. We recommend doing a custom (clean) installation.

Did you use a drive image or just back up the data ?

Do you have your windows disc or a recovery partition on your system ?
