| 589913 | 2007-09-10 08:19:00 | Hello, I would like to know what to do if i want to switch back to XP. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit It depends how you installed Vista. If you did an upgrade you have the option to save the old OS as windows.old. If you did this there is a way Here (support.microsoft.com). If you didn't then there is no easy way, simply wipe the drive and reload XP from the CD, install drivers etc. Make sure you save any data first you don't want to lose which ever way you go. |
