over-write Vista w/ XPMC 05?
I just bought this

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...750&CatId=2510

which has Vista OS, to replace this,

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...ku=G153-MX7118

(it's being returned) which has XPMC OS.

I'm not interested in Vista right now. Can I install XP over Vista, with one of the two OS restore discs that came with the second unit? What needs to be done?
