Re: Downgrading vista to xp
the second partition is a back-up for the system back-up function in vista. Its not needed in xp, make sure you save all your data to an external source or image your hard drive with acronis true image or ghost, whatever you prefer. When installing xp make sure you boot to the cd and completely reformat your whole drive and remove the back-up partition(xp has no use for it, also be aware if your laptop has quickplay allocate 204 mb of the hard drive for quickplay). Install xp.

BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THIS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL APPROPRIATE DRIVERS FOR YOUR LAPTOP FOR WINDOWS XP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
