It would cost you money to go back to XP?
My legal version of xp i have already called microsoft 2 times for new code installs for crashed hard drives. If i recall i saw something about they ended that type of support so any install i do with my legal version i only have 30 days to use it. If there is a way to revert back to xp from vista free i want the info asap
as i work in the IT range, i know there is a Tools available to downgrade Vista to XP. Why shouldn't you reinstall and activate a XP if you have a legal Version ?? Don't activate via phone use the online activation, i have installed my XP pro since it got it on 10 of my PC's with complete upgrades and i never had activation problems.Vista and Win 7 have these problems as they implemented this limitation sh*t for some reasons i don't se a point for to have it in.
If you use Vista Home than there should be no Problem with the downgrade to XP or are you useeing a Laptop??
When i go to install it with the orignal cd it sayin it wont do anything I have a newer version. Im way behind in the pc world , I have real life issues retaining long winded information i read.
I dont have time to learn all this new crap on how to fdisk properly. The last time i wiped a drive it i used comand prompt and typed fdisk , that dont work now i guess.
I did go and get a used pos dell with xp on it but its slow 512 ram , it might work good enough for gmax,we will see as i do want to finish this model atleast.
