| | Where do I go to uninstall Vista and revert back to XP Hello, I upgraded from XP to Vista and due to lack of drivers I need to fall back to XP. How do I go about doing that? I expected some kind of uninstall in add/remove programs but can't seem to find anything... Thanks! Grant Schenck |

| | Re: Where do I go to uninstall Vista and revert back to XP I have a mess of stuff already installed which I can't easily reconfigure and reinstall. So, can anyone answer my question? How do I uninstall Vista and revert back to my XP. I did an upgrade from XP so I'm assuming I can do a downgrade back.

| | Re: Where do I go to uninstall Vista and revert back to XP Did you Upgrade an OEM version of XP or was it a retail version of an XP CD that you purchased at a retailer.

| | Re: Where do I go to uninstall Vista and revert back to XP At this point, if losing data and apps aren't an issue then the best coarse is to boot with the xp cd, format the drive and do a clean install. Quicker and cleaner.

| | Re: Where do I go to uninstall Vista and revert back to XP So what would happen if your hard drive died? You would have to do a clean install, reinstall your programs again. You should have your programs on CD/DVD.
