Greetings..
If ya do not mind the noise.. then you can rent a flooring chipper...
Only use this on cement based floors though.

It has a steel blade that vibrates on the floor and lifts up the vinyl in strips... ( you may have to pre score it a bit for even strips)

There is still the mess of old mastic on the floor. other fellows advice to overlay is sound advice.

luck to ya...
if is a good condition steak on floor, just sanded by 40 sand and install new floor, but normally you should out and install new one,
