Re: Downgrading vista to xp

Make sure this is really what you want to do.
First you need to back up any files that you have on your laptop you want to keep on CD or DVD.
Check and see if your system is 32 bit or 64 bit. Xp you will need to know which one you have to install the right version.
Clean/reformat your hard drive. Partition it the way you want it.
Install XP

There are mixed feelings with Vista. I know people who love it but others who are having problems with it because of hardware incompatibilities and crashes.
AS for me, I love XP. Until the bugs are out of VISTA - I will not install it on my system.
