If you are aiming to do it his way....be sure to check you mobo manufacturers website for XP drivers.
If your system is one of the prebuild ones from Dell,HP or ??? you will need to go to their website and download XP drivers.
With the removal of the Vista installed HD you will lose everything that is on that drive...a newly installed HD will take XP providing you have the XP drivers for your hardware.

Mary,
I am planning to do what you did. Were you successful replacing Vista OS
with XP home?
I am doing the same because I am tired of the problems I have with the email
and other applications.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Sergio.

If replacing Vista OS with my privately purchased copy of XP Home on a newly
purchased computer, do I need to first find and download drivers for all of
the hardware in the new box? I'm going to just remove the hard drive that
came with the new computer, install a new hard drive and install XP if this
sounds like a good plan. This way, when Vista matures and I replace scanner,
printer, etc, I can switch out the hard drives and migrate over to Vista.
My thanks, as always, for your advice and suggestions.
Mary
