I've been having all sorts of problems with Vista. I really need to go back to XP. I've found a good number of articles on how to do just that, but every way that I've read on how to do it requires the Windows XP disks. My computer did not come with it, it came pre-installed (OEM version). My hard drive is partioned; C drive contains Vista and D drive contains the backup of XP. Is there any way I can go back to XP considering that it appears to still be on my hard drive? Is there any way I can boot directly from D drive instead of the C drive? Would doing that load up XP? I did not do a "clean install" of Vista, I only did the upgrade. If worse comes to worse and there's no way in the world to get XP back on without the disks, could Microsoft send them to me considering that I had XP pre-installed (OEM)? Am I asking too many questions? Sorry, I just really need to go back to XP, Vista keeps crasing on practically 90% of all my programs that ran fine with XP. Would it be illegal to ask someone to send me a copy of theirs?
