How can I downgrade to Windows XP from Windows 7?

Made a new installation on a disk hard new Win 7 64-bit.

Unfortunately - I have to retreat to XP PRO 32 BIT (long story)

I have a CD XP PRO SP 3.

Boot from the CD - loads of stuff as usual - BLUE SCREEN to STOP 0000007 b.

Any suggestions to what tool, which version etc to clear the HD and "Start OVER" are appreciated.

Thanks for your time

Hello

Win7 for XP > install XP on a Partition different for example E: partition. You can see under 'Computer' C:, E: or F: partitions. Windows will not be downgraded to the same partition.

If Win 7 took all the space and then reduce it to create the United Nations space partitioned. How to do? Type "compmgmt.msc" on start it > search.

Access storage disks and see the partitions. Right click on the C: partition (it could be different, must first ensure) that contains the Windows 7 system. then select "shrink"...  Enter the size to reduce for example of 50 GB.

Insert the XP cd and select "install a new copy.

Follow the instructions: and where you are prompted to select the partition to install to., select "UN partitioned space. It will be formatted everything first installation can continue.

Note: Anyone considering a downgrade to XP must check to ensure that a * comprehensive set of drivers XP * is available for the material in question before trying to install XP.

Another consideration as possible: If the computer in question is under a manufacturer's warranty, the owner can check with the manufacturer to find out if the guarantee is meant by changing the operating system.

It will be useful.

  • HP 15 f024 wm Notebook: How can I downgrade the bios on my laptop HP 15-024wm?

    Hi, I just bought a laptop from HP 15 f024-wm.  It runs 8.1 64-bit Windows. Intel Pentium 3520 N.   The problem I have is that I've recently updated my bios to f.13 and now my keyboard skips letters. Everything was going well until I did this upgrade of bios, how can I downgrade to the original version? I tried the key windows + B thing and she does not see a black screen while my caps lock key blinks twice.  It drives me crazy... If anyone can help me I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you!

    Hi @vincentd1215 ,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I understand you want to restore the default values of the BIOS. You can restore the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings or rollback. Restore default BIOS is necessary, if it does not give you the possibility of restoration.

    Hope this is what you need.

    Thank you.

  • How can I disable the Agent updates from HP running?

    HP pavilion D4100Y

    Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)

    No error message

    No recent changes

    Problem: The program "HP updates Agent" run frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not the one I chose.  He takes over my computer for hours and using most of the CPU, fluctuating between 13% and 87% to 1 etc.3% at 6%, etc.. The computer crashes and I can not use it for something else. On the HP updates screen, I put updates on 'NEVER', but that did not work.  The programs always run. In the Windows Task Manager window, the program is called "Agent updates from HP".

    I find nothing on this problem in the base of support.

    How can I disable the Agent updates from HP running?

    Select your Start button, in the search box type 'msconfig' then msconfig.exe under programs.

    Look under the tabs "Services" and "Boot". Uncheck update HP agent, select 'Apply' and close.

    I would like to make a recovery, but it does not work.

    I know there's a shortcut like press 0 when the laptop starts.

    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
