hi.. normally when higher version operating system is installed lower version operating system may not boot..
before u r uninstalling the vista you have to take care of all your drivers, take backup of it.
* After that name all your drivers like the C drive as vista and another drives as you like by right clicking over the drive you can see rename option.
* After that take all the documents and files in desktop and my documents to the another local drive other that vista drive.
* Back up all your drivers.. you can download the utility to backup drivers name its name "DriverBackup".
*now boot your notebook with vista dvd, and select installation don't select upgrade,
*after a few steps it shows the window for selecting partitions, select the vista(C) partition and select the drive option on the window. in those options select the formate option.
** while selecting formate option take care that vista drive is selected. with in a few minutes (1 or 2) it formates the vista drive.
* now restart the notebook. and boot it with xp cd and in the partition selection select formated drive it may be the C-drive. and move on the installation.
* after installation use the drivers to install drives you took backup.
**BY THIS PROCESS YOU WONT GET ANY DATA LOSS AND NO NEED TO FORMATE THE ENTIRE HARD DISK"
