My Windows Home 32 bit computer crashed and I bought a Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit to replace it not realizing potential compatibility issues. (OEM installed OS no disk, no recovery disk came with computer).
1. I would like to purchase XP 32 bit OS and install it on a reformatted 2nd HD which I installed in the new computer already. I can't find a guide anyplace to help me install this that doesn't require re-partioning the OEM HD or that doesn't require the Vista CD.
2. Since I have a device (SkyCaddie Golf GPS) that is not compatible with 64 Bit system and I use it regularly, I need a 32 bit OS.
Can anyone make recommendations and provide me a solution?
