Windows Vista Beta2

I had installed Windows Vista beta 2 long ago in my desktop computer. I was
away from home for more than a year. When I came and started my computer I
can not load the windows and there is an error says your license expired
error OxC00E003. Now I want to install my Windows XP which I have the
original disc from the manufacturer. I insert the disc in dvd rom drive but
it can't read. So How can I install windows XP.

Re: Windows Vista Beta2

Provided you are booting from the cd, then either the DVD is faulty or the
winxp cd is faulty
If your PC has been unused for a year, try opening the case & reseating all
connectors - ensure pwr is disconnected whilst doing this.

RE: Windows Vista Beta2

Go into Bios at startup, ans set your Boot Order to boot from your DVD/CD
drive 1st.
Have your XP CD in the Drive; reboot.

Load XP files, delete existing vista Partition, formatt, install XP.

With the above, it is all in the instructions as you use the XP disk to
install; very easy for you! Just read carefully
