I've recently purchased a computer with window vista. I guess I am
so used
to xp that I want to remove vista and re load my older version of
xp. Also,
I am not as computer literate as most of you so it might take me a
little
while to understand things.
So what type of license is the Windows XP copy that you have? OEM?
If so, has it ever been installed? Was it on THIS computer or a
different one? You'll first need to figure out if you have a legit
copy of Windows XP to use on the computer. If you do, make sure you
have all the drivers for Windows XP for that hardware, along with any
peripherals, like printers, scanners, etc. When you do the boot from
the Windows XP install CD, simply choose to reformat the OS partition
and install Windows XP there. Obviously before you start this you
will need to perform backups of your data file (unless they are in a
different partition or drive and you are willing to risk losing them
in the migrate to a different OS version).
