From there you can delete the existing Vista Install and reinstall XP. | | Junior Member with 4 posts. | | | | What you mean

#10 | Vista Don't you boys know that you never, never, never invest in the first year of a new program? Too many glitches, messes up everything! Same for buying a brand new

#12 | the two easy ways i find are the following
1 - boot off the cd and delete the partition, make a new partition and install it on that
or
2 - download active killdisk http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm , run it, once wiped boot off the cd and do a fresh install

#13 | I had the same problem with freeze up . Only switching off with the button would restart. Then it would freeze again. Tried everything including selective start-up, removing software etc but nothing helped. Then I read someone had the same problems and changed 'Power Options' in "Control Panel\Hardware and Sound" from 'Balanced' to 'High Performance'. A 2 second fix!!. It's certainly worked for me!!!! TRY IT!! | | Junior Member with 1 posts. | | |
