downgrading from vista to xp

or upgrade as some of you may say :lol:

basically, i want to get XP on my computer but it has vista on it. would i be able to just install xp like i installed vista? keep all my files and stuff etc.. will vista not let xp override it? any problems i should know?

thanks

I think Vista does not allow you to downgrade, I don't think they wrote the scripts for it.

So you may have to reformat, but it will work.

really? when i changed to vista i got to keep the stuff in my documents, my pictures, music was still thereb0ssy

That is because it's an upgrade. XP is an old OS you can't expect to downgrade and keep your files. I don't see the point in switching to Xp though. That's a real downgrade.
