Vista is sooo crappy, it wont even let me install XP. Backed up all my files today, then tried to install XP, like I have done on other comps, but it appears that the install option is "not allowed" Funny, can fresh install XP over ANY other OS, but not Vista..... And this is a laptop, so I cant FDISK and run in DOS

The XP install won't run from within Vista because Vista is a newer operating system.

Boot off the xp cd, format the drive, install xp.
