Re: Downgrading from Vista to XP

Your laptop may have hardware that is not supported by XP (video circuitry,
hard drive, etc.). In other words, it may be impossible to downgrade to XP.

Check with the hardware manufacturers - at least twice - before attempting,
else you may be faced with:

1. Buying a retail version of XP and attempting to install.
2. Buying a retail version of Vista because the XP version wouldn't work and
you smashed your Vista restore capability.

In other words, you may be out another $500 just for the attempt.
