    Put your xp disk in and install it over the vista partition

    I was thinking the same thing, it's not like you spend all day in the control panel, like "Oh this is boring" :/ Normally it's games that bore me..
    This is our situation and we're happy to be here,
    I wouldn't change this place for anything.

    You need a clean install, meaning you need to re-transfer your documents and re-install all of your programs.

    I would recommend doing a full re-format on your computer, but be sure to back your documents up to an external hard drive or a DVD.

    This forum post (on another forum ) may help: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vi...a-install.html

    If you havent got the XP disk, you need to purchase one DO NOT PIRATE . eBuyer.com sell XP disks (OEM) I beleive.

    You can, but:

    1. Its illegal and you can get into trouble for it.
    2. A lot of torrents containing Operating Systems have problems with them, such as viruses.

    Personally, I think security is a much bigger priority than spending nothing for an OS.

    Maybe, you could try Ubuntu! Ubuntu is a free and legal operating system, just like Windows. Try WuBi (from download.com) to setup a Dual Boot between Window Vista and Linux Ubuntu.

    Hope this helps!
