Hello.

I have a new computer with Vista Home Premium. On it is Windows Vista
Home Premium and Windows Media Center.

I really don't like Vista much and would like to do the following:

First, I'd clone (make an image) of the existing Vista Machine to save
it.
Second, I'd like to install my licensed copy of Windows XP.
Third, I'd like to install Windows Media Center from the Vista
install.

Is this possilbe?


No.
