	No but, it wont let me as during the XP installation it says "Cannot locate hard drive". How do I make it locate a hard drive? I've been told this will happen on all preinstalled vista machines

	All the data you want to keep, as it will have to format the hard drive to install XP.

	The downgrade is installing xp from scratch, you can't downgrade in that sense of the word. Why are you going back to a 7 year old OS?

	How easy is it? I've tried doing it on my new laptop that came with XP but it says cannot locate HDD's. I've been told it is possible however
