Dear Computer geek,

I bought toshiba with window vista on it and it is making my computer very slow. I want to knock out Vista and install XP.

I tried installing XP from CD but it did not let me do it. How can I remove vista and install XP?

Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

If you use the "partition magic" and divide your hard drive. You can always have both Xp and Vista. One thing always remember, you should always do a research before buying. Don't forget to google next time.

If you need help, just pay me $20/hr. Good luck

first check into toshiba's webiste if drivers for xp are available for that model of your computer

and if they are then boot directly from the xp disk format the hard drive and install xp its simple

@spearhead what exactly was the problem?
Anyway can you post the model number or the hardware specs.
you can do a free scan of your hardware here

Most probably your problem was because your pc uses sata hard drive
and windows xp cannot find the hard disk. To solve it you need to go to
your bios settings and change the drive mode to IDE or ATA or something like that.
Just play around.

Guys no offence,

Spearhead, as I mention you earlier do a research. OK here is one of tech. website. I hope it will help you. If not go to google and do a research.

If you have any more problem, just let Nepalis community know about it.

Enjoy windows Xp

and yeah, by installing XP, your warranty (if any) might get void..

Vista sucks!

ya vista really sucks, my dell inspiron 1525 with core2duo 7250 and 2gb memory hardly ran vista, and all those
security messages are so annoying. Now i dual boot with ubuntu and win xp and its a pleasure to use now. These days while buying laptops it is better to buy from vendors who have bit of history of xp and linux support. ATM dell is the only choice, which is the main reason I bought dell laptop.

It does not allow me to download softwares I got from Nepal.
