How do I uninstall Windows Vista without a cd?

You can't install xp over Vista; the oldest operating system has to be installed first. What you can do is a. Buy a new hard drive or b. format the drive and install xp ( not recommended; you will lose your preinstalled drivers ) or c. create a new hard drive partition, install xp on that, and from xp, delete the vista partition, then grow the xp partition. The first is easiest, but has the same shortcomings as the second, but the third is hard to do correctly and may render your hard drive unusable. Ask a tech person for more in-depth info.

I agree with you Vista sucks. Go into setup in the bios (hit f2 when you first turn it on) and make sure the computer is trying to boot from the CD ROM drive first. Then follow the steps format the partition and then install xp.

Suggest you do a system recovery. First back up all files. Do the system recovery and then install xp. This is a lengthy process so don't think it will be over and done in a few hours.

Also suggest you click on Help and Support and get instructions on the system recovery.

download a program called killdisk, that will completely wipe out your hard drive. you can download it to a flash drive and use your flash drive as a boot device to run the killdisk program. once killdisk is done restart your computer, go to setup and use your dvd drive as a boot device. insert your xp cd and see if that works. the problem you had could have been due to a conflict of operating systems.
