RE: Downgrade Vista Home Premium to XP Home

Hello,

Last year I purchased an HP Laptop that they claimed was "Vista Compatiable"
and when Vista came back it was sent to me as a free disk, which I installed
to my laptop. Unfortunately, my computer simply should not have been called
Vista Compatiable. With only 1GB of Ram it really cannot play any type of
game.

Therefore, I was wondering if I could downgrade to my previous XP version.
This thread appears to say that I can. However, what I wanted to find out if
it will also wipe out my Microsoft Office 2003 (meaning I need to find the
discs). Also, I know that this is a Windows group so it might be foolish to
ask...but, my laptop appears to have a back up recovery disk directly on the
laptop (my D: drive). Does anyone have any feedback exactly how it would work
to use this feature (which I assume is neccessary to go back to XP)

Thanks
