How to Downgrade to Windows XP from Vista part 1

Visit us at http://www.defcon-5.com/noc/video.cfm?docid=264

There you can find a few links to purchase a legit license for Windows XP Professional.

Alot of you complained because we did'nt show you step by step how to do the Vista downgrade. So instead of telling you about it, here is a quick run through on doing it.

I recommend doing a full wipe and reload, as anytime an OS downgrade or uninstall is performed it seems to cause trouble.

Make sure you have a Windows XP CD, and a valid product key, as you will need to activate Windows XP once it is installed.

Unfortunately due to YouTube's video time limit we had to break this video into two parts.

When i run my Windows Xp CD and it gets to the point where Windows XP Professional Set, and press enter, repair, or f3 i press Enter then it gives me the agrements etc etc but it instantly crashes. Anything worng that I might be doing wrong?

[DefconComputers]

@SanokoDAsuia Probably nothing you are doing wrong, check the system for bad ram, and a possible bad hard drive. I suspect the drive more though.

isn't it actually how a normal installation of xp performs?

[DefconComputers]

@MarioFanLevelz Correct, alot of people however don't bother to make sure their system will work with XP in terms of having drivers available.

@computersuk1 Its not. its a downgrade. XP was made before Vista. Unless your calling XP better. lol.

Do you get the message because windows XP doesn't natively support sata Drives?

Could you just install them from DOS?
