    Hey, i have bought a laptop which had a trial version of vista on it and i want to replace it with xp,
    When i try to install xp it tells me i have a newer version of windows and will not let me go any further.
    I am a novice at this stuff so if someone could tell me how to remove vista and load xp on it would be great.
    I dont want both os running so i dont want to put a partition in,
    Thanks in advance .
    PLEASE NOTE I AM A NOVICE AND REALLY HAVE NO IDEA!

    :rolleyes: oh yeah 30 day trial for which no license is needed.

    Older versions of windows won't go over new ones

    Basically wipe and reinstall
    Boot from the XP CD and there should be an option there to format the drive.
