Want to change my pc from vista to xp so. - Toshiba Satellite A205-S4617 Notebook

Hai,
Yea that's true Vista sucks.....XP best!
If you want to install completely with XP then as usual procedure format the system with your Windows XP CD(C:/ drive only, with FAT32 or NTFS).

I am sorry I just took a look, it appears that most all of the drivers for this model ONLY have Vista drivers. I was unable to find ANY XP drivers from ACer.

If you want to change Windows XP to Vista you should check out the different Vista versions that Microsoft offers, here is a link to the different versions of VIsta that you can get and the upgrade paths you need to take - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/upgrade-your-pc.aspx. You wont need the Windows XP installation disk to upgrade to Vista. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

you need to find out if your computer can have xp has you may not get all the drivers if you give me me make and model i will have a look for you

before changing plz check the availability of the drivers

its better not to change your os, try to work on vista its more user friendly than xp, though you will have difficulty in starting, but sooner you will overcome it

to turn off auto updates control panel/windows update/change settings


You can dual boot with vista and XP but XP must be insatalled before Vista

before changing just check the manufacture website for drivers then only change to xp

What did the laptop have on it first? XP OR VISTA

What brand laptop?

I would not install windows Vista.

also your computer may not support windows Vista
event if it meets the minimum requirements, never go by that go by the suggested requirements.


hope this helps
