Michael, try placing your windows xp disk inside your cd drive then reboot, let it run until you see "Press any key to boot from cd", press any key and wait for it to load(may take 5-10 minutes). Now i dont think you can downgrade from vista to xp very easily sometimes, you may have to delete your old partition and create a new one on top of it, but any way one you have loaded from the cd it is pretty straight forward

good luck

Okay then, once at the blue screen press enter then f8 for i agree. Then you will see a screen of partition(s), press D then L for all of them, then you will see and "UN partitioned space" to create a new partition push c and then yes. next select the partition and press enter to instal windows.

Thats about as simple as i can make it
