The question is why do you want to go back to the windows boot manager?
You can configure grub to default to windows, if that's what you want.

In order to run the two OS's on the same machine you will need some sort of boot manager, usually GRUB or LILO. Windows (specifically vista) boot manager can only handle other windows partitions, and no other OS's.
So if you want to keep linux and windows you will need to use grub or lilo, otherwise just reformat the entire drive with XP.

Virtually all Linux versions can be installed side by side, but not all offer this option and you have to create the partitions yourself. Grub Boot Loader comes with virtually all Linux Versions, but some may use lilo instead. You can always try different Version and distributions on a LiveCD to see which one will work the best without installing it and finding out it just isn't what you need. When you say requirements, I think you mat be talking about the RAM. Without know the specs of your computer, it really isn't much use to suggest any of them

If you really want to go back to Window's Boot Manager (And rendering your Linux OS inaccessible), put in the windows install disc, when it loads hit R to go into repair mode.
Log in as administrator on your windows partition through the repair mode, and type "fixmbr".

It always will, and is a better boot manager.

Yeah that was to be expected.
