>I installed Vista on a laptop that was little used at the time and now want to go back to XP. The laptop is now in regular use and we are having trouble getting it to work amiably with the other computers in the house, both of which are running XP. There doesn't seem to be anything built into Vista that will let you revert to XP, which it was running before. I tried booting from an XP Pro installation CD but the setup program was blocked by Vista. I even tried formatting the laptop's C: drive. No luck.

>Is there any way to do this?
Won't the Windows XP cd let you reformat if you boot from it? Just set boot order in BIOS to boot from the CD first.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
