    Re: Downgrading Vista to XP

    That laptop will do you fine for web browsing and multimedia. It's not very high powered, but you shouldn't encounter too many problems doing basic things.

        Anyways, can you tell us what model/brand your laptop is? This is definitely a manufacturer specific thing, and we can't help unless you give some more details.

        Also, to MalDON: Implement a reddit..........it would rock.
        And what do you mean, implement a reddit? If you mean installing the reddit source on FFR, that wouldn't work. Requires different server software.
        Or maybe you were looking for this.

            I meant installing the source on FFR. Oh well.

Also to install Windows properly you need to reformat your hardrive which requires you to change your boot order in the BIOS so it boots from the disc before your Hardrive. You must then delete your partition(s) and format partitions according to what you want and make sure one has XP installed on it (Will do automatically after you format the partition...only do this once otherwise reboot when it tries to). I personally have 5 partitions but that's because I run another OS that uses EXT3 format instead of NSTF. So I have one for XP, one for keeping Data (largest one by far), one is a root directory for Ubuntu (and others I play with but hardly use), another one is the home directory for Ubuntu, and one is virtual memory for Ubuntu...chances are you only need 1 partition though.

                Well just referring to the post I put in earlier.... this should be on laptops/desktops that have sata(which most new computers have)..... If you have a laptop that you upgraded and want to downgraded back down... then thats a whole different things and it is much more simple. That is why I put if you have any questions message me. I do know how to correctly downgrade but unless i know a lot more specifics then that then i cannot help

                And also you are a much more advance user than most of the people on these forums are
