|

Me again..
- about downgrading from vista to xp..
Do i need to do anything special or do i just do as usual, put in the xp cd, format and install?
Some poeple said that they got problems downgrading to xp from vista, but im not sure what to do.. I had xp on this pc before if you need to know.

I asked my uncle if I got a vista computer could I downgrade it to XP. He said he did it to one of his computers but the drivers (I think he said drivers) got messed up somehow.
Try to research about downgrading the drivers as well.

I don't think the hard drive should be any problem because you just need to reformat it.

format it with your vista disc, then put the xp disc in and it should work.

make sure you get DVDs
the 4.7GB ones.
a CD probably won't have enough space

Probably a "pre-nLited" version... i would avoid these, since they have been tampered with by someone you don't know.
Look for an untouched corporate edition.
