Step 4Leave yourself an out.
This is a very important step. Make sure you have an original copy of Vista, recovery disks or a recovery partition. If XP fails to install and there is no good solution, you can always reinstall Vista. I DO NOT trust recovery partitions. Hard drives can fail, or it may be difficult to start the recovery process.
If you do not have a Vista recovery CD/DVD you will need to contact your computer manufacture and request a copy of the system disks or an OEM Vista CD. Some manufacturers have a program to help users move back to XP, others do not, you'll just have to ask. Many PC manufacturers will not help you install XP on the system and it may even void the warranty. Look at your warranty and talk to your PC manufacturer and look online to find out more.
