How downgrade Vista to XP Professional professional?

I have a HP that was purchased with Vista Business downgraded to XP Professional.  It crashed after about a year and would not restart correctly.  A local technology recovered data and then tried to reinstall the system with the original disks.  He said he could only install Vista Business.  I tried Vista briefly and do not want to use it, but want to go back to XP

I have the DVD 3 - restoration of HP;  Vista Business SP1.  Pack multiple language for use with Vista 32 bit.  I also have a CD with XP SP2.

For any other problem, contact HP:

http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then restart with the XP disk in the drive.

Then follow the steps below to do a clean install.

Once installed, reload ALL your other programs of original media, or download again.

Reload all drivers and utilities for your motherboard.

See you soon.

  • Satellite Pro A200GE how downgrade from Vista to XP?

    Hello

    I had Satellite Pro A200GE with Windows Vista Business Edition preinstalled in it.

    Am not really satisfied with Windows Vista and I would like to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.

    I don't have a CD to install Windows XP Professional, but don't know how to install it on a Vista machine.

    I tried to boot my Vista laptop on this XP disc but no joy...

    Is there another way to install XP on the computer before installing vista?

    or I have to buy any disc retailer downgrade?

    Any help appreciated

    Thank you
    Vishal

    You can install XP on this laptop. As you say you have to boot from the XP CD to install it on the HARD drive.

    But maybe your OS doesn't see the HARD internal disk? In this case, you need to install the SATA driver first. The Manager of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager includes the SATA driver. Intel Matrix Storage manager can be downloaded from the Intel Web site.

    During the installation of Win XP, it must use the F5 key to include the SATA driver from an external FDD drive (floppy).

    If you don t have an external USB FDD then you can use the program called nLite.
    For more information, I recommend goggling for nLite software.

  • Satellite U400-03 s - how downgrade from Vista to XP?

    Hi guys,.

    I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite U400/03 s with pre-installed Vista Business and I want to downgrade to Windows XP Professional. My laptop comes with a professional the product for Windows XP Recovery disk, but I don't know how to use this drive as it did not come with serial number.

    Where can I get the serial number? I have to ring Microsoft or Toshiba?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    AFAIK the downgrade is fairly easy: just boot from the disk of XP downgrade that was shipped with your laptop and follow the instructions on the screen and that s all you have to do! :)

    You n t need a serial number, if you install the operating system on a disk from Toshiba. It s already configured.

    How to get windows 7 Professional operating system software for existing key

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • License OEM Windows 7 Professional 32-bit come with downgrade rights to XP Professional?

    If I buy a copy of (System Integrator) OEM Windows 7 Professional 32 - bit, does include downgrade rights to Windows XP Pro?

    I build essentially the individual PCs for personal use and small businesses; However, I have a client who seeks PCs 35 at point of sale that will have access to a central server.  Although I recommended the use of XP mode in Windows 7, my customer has been informed by its supplier of software that XP Pro is the best option for the current version of the software.

    Although I could purchase copies of XP Pro OEM, my concern is that - during the life cycle of these PCs - my client will have to migrate to Windows 7, as new versions of its software point of sale are available.  If possible, I would like the opportunity to buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, installation of XP Pro with downgrade rights and later have the ability to change to Windows 7 without having to purchase new licenses.  Is it an option if I buy Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses?

    Also, I need 35 licenses for a single customer, volume licenses would be more cost-effective?  My current Windows 7 Pro OEM or Windows XP Pro OEM price is about $ 150 per license.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Yes, a version of Windows 7 Professional OEM rights to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.  Volume license is not a scheme of licensing "for resale.

  • How Captivate and Adobe Acrobat Professional work together

    Hello

    I am very new to Captivate (beginning with v5.5 soon move to v6) and wonder what 'magical' could be achieved if I learned how to use Adobe Acrobat Professional X and tried to use both products to produce training materials.

    (1) they compliment each other?

    (2) are ideal partners?

    (3) someone can suggest a workflow / structure of what I could do to use both products in a consistent manner, please?

    Phew;  There are always new things to know...

    Captivate can publish to PDF. You can insert this page in Acrobat and have a document with different interactive tutorials CP-published in full. I also use Acrobat to offer a portfolio for students with CP-tutorials, presenter published presentations, other documents or sample files.
