from windows 7 to windows XP
Hello guys,
I am currently running windows 7 on my advent laptop but there are no drives available...after long search of drives I have decided to re-install my windows XP but the system will not take as it an old version to the one I am currently running. Is there any one who can show me how to revert back to windows XP? thanks |

You have to reformat and start from scratch.

Are you trying to run the XP cd with Win7 running? You have to use XP as a boot CD. If that doesn't work, download the Ultimate Boot CD and use one of the hdd tools on there to reformat your hard drive. Then boot to the XP cd and do the clean install.

Ultimate Boot CD - Overview
Did you set the optical drive first in the boot order? Quote:

Have you made sure that there are XP drivers for ALL your devices? Maybe it's Providence preventing you from going further ahead.
Why trying to go back to XP anyway?
