Jump to PostWhat kind of hard drive are you trying to install on? You probably need to load the Drivers for your hard drive controller at the F6 screen during the XP install.
Jump to PostHI,
i dont think you can downgrad from vista using win xp as win vista is a stronger os than win xp.
some of the vista drivers will still be on the hard disk and will not allow win xp to run.formating and deleting partition in windows do not remove …
Jump to Postsurely you would need to delete vista, then put the disk in?
or are you trying to do a dual-boot pc?
