Hey everyone,
I want to format so I can switch back to XP from Vista. However:
1- I`m unable to boot from the Vista installation DVD.
2- when I boot from the win XP CD, it fails after a while (when starting windows to get to the repair/install menu) with this error code: STOP oxoooooo7b.
3- I don't have a floppy drive and therefore cannot install additional drivers for setup, nor specify any SCSI adapters. But, when I chose this option (hitting f6 during installation) setup does tell me that it cannot recognize any mass storage devices.
I had this problem before, when formatting from a newer version of XP with an older installation CD. Back then, I solved the problem by formatting with the Vista DVD.
Does anyone have an idea how I can manage the format?
Thanks!
