Set the BIOS to boot from CD then put in the XP disk. Then you'll format your HDD and XP will install.

thanx for ur advice but i did try and it didnt work. i get the following msg when i run the xp disk : a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. if this is the first time you've seen this, stop error screen, sestart you computer. if this screen appers again follow these steps: check for viruses, remove any new hdd, or hdd controlers. run chkdsk/f to check for hdd corruption.

any more thoughts. the pc is hp. was told i needed to download drivers for xp for the system but i dont know where to get them as the ASUS website dosent give them out and neither does the hp website, or should i just but my boot through the motherboard and get a new one lol. :sigh::sigh:

maybe vista doesnt like getting replaced by XP ??????



you could wipe & erase the drive with dariks boot n nuke then install win xp

try that

after wiping the drive it will load the XP
