If the Vista Computer has a SATA hard drive, the XP boot CD doesnt have drivers loaded for SATA. You will have to have a seperate floppy drive attatched, and in the bios boot from it first.
I was gonna buy a new laptop just to take to work with me, but if all I can find is a laptop with Vista installed.....I'll go to a motherfuckin pawnshop and buy a used one and wipe the OS and reinstall Windows XP, its kinda like going to a car dealership and trying to find a good deal and the salesman saying " I know you want something your comfortable with " but this is what we have and were not selling anything else, take it or leave it, Michrosoft is forcing the hords to buy Vista and report the bugs so their technicians can work them out, then sell the same version with the bugs worked out and call it.....Vista Premium.....or some shit.......
Hello,
I recently bought an HCL leaptop Z24 C2D with Windows Vista Home preinstalled. I am fed up with this OS and I want to downgrade to Windows XP . I have the home edition of Windows XP and I would like to know the process and the link to the xp drivers to DL before uninstalling Vista.
Any help in this regards will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I have a Sony VAIO Model PCG-3A1L. I'm trying to downgrade it from Vista to XP, but when I reach the options of "Press R to repair" and "Press Enter to install Windows XP" or whatever the keys they are, it says my hard disk drive cannot be found. I currently have a virus called "do_not_delete.exe" and I've went through forums, they told me to just reformat because the virus was not removable. Does it have anything to do with my virus or is it because VAIO's BIOS isn't letting me? Help me please!
what would I do for toshiba satellite A215 (i cant connect to the internet at all? not even through Ethernet?)
I have the same problem with you. Just reformat it but the problem with XP are the drivers if you don,t have it. The easiest is to upgrade it to Windows 7 if you it.
Yes, the service center are lying. It is possible to downgrade from Vista to XP. For that you will have to create a XP ISO CD with the vista sata raid controller in it.
Then you can just format it with no problem. For step by step details contact at Email Id removed for security

i have an acer aspire pre installed vista os and I want to reformat it to an xp os, is it possible?? any risk????
The best solution to install windows xp on your laptop and desktop users is to buy another hard disk.. I discover that windows 7 has a affected the hard disk bios that can only installed vista and windows 7. You use it as a backup drives but you can't anymore install in that hard drive, you will use other hard disk that never been installed vista or windows 7.. Microsoft wants to phase out lower version of O.S.......
Well you can always downgrade from windows Vista to XP but everything may not work fully without the correct drivers from what I have seen its hard to find xp drivers for a pc that comes with Vista I know Sony doesn't support other OS driver downloads on their new vista laptops I know HP you can download XP version drivers for a laptop or pc with vista pre in stalled im not sure about other brands.

I just got a HP Pavilion media center m8425f desktop pc. It has intel core 2 quad processor q6700. It comes pre loaded with Windows Vista. But I have heard many non-original software do not work in Vista due to its increased security features. I really like XP and would like to continue using XP. From a desktop perspective, is it easy to switch it to XP operating system. I know I would need some drivers and if anyone can help me find that I would greatly appreciate it.
