if you mean completely wipe the computer clean?
Easyst way is to put in the xp disk and select repair/reinstall and it will show the folders and should have a current one with blank mb used out of blank mb and u just erase it, self explanatory once u get there.

Why do you want xp? vista is way better. People are just retards if they think xp is better.

Oh...i thought you wanted to downgrade vista to xp. To reformat the xp comp, just stick in a xp retail disk or a recovery disk form your manufacturer. Pretty simple from there. For a recovery disk, it may be different from a retail xp disk.

hit me up on Xfire i got a copy of windows xp corp self install you just have to boot from it and it dose the rest i will send it to ya its a iso just need to burn it !

my xfire is wfcbriggs


Edit: make sure there is nothing on that pc you want this copy of Xp is set to delete all files and format over it 5 times befor install so all data is gone and not recoverable also make sure you have the drivers downloaded for your pc and burned to a cd if you don't you could be up Sh!t creek with out a paddle  >< after installing windows XP Pro Corp download and install windows service pack 3 then check for updates.

/me wonders if briggs is feeling ok

I actually like windows 2008 server better, its way faster than vista. So what if I have to do things to get it to work a little more like the desktop version.
But I still want to stick with my mac and linux ;)

so sence the topic when on to windows vista . :ph34r: :ph34r: i just installed windows vista ultimate X64 Running on a AMD Phenom X4 9850 Quad Core Processor - Black Edition, Unlocked 2.50GHz, 4MB Cache, 2000MHz (4000 MT/s) FSB, With 8GB's  DDRCorsair XMS2 DHX Dual Channel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (4 x 2048MB) and the Nvida 8800 GTS XXX running SLI.

all i have to say for all the haters of vista you are so wrong about it this kicks the rear of any XP X86/X64 OS there is !

Why did you go with amd over intel for your quad. Intel is bar far cheaper. I just got a q6600 2.4 quad for 190 cad (oem) and you could probably get it for like 20-30 cheaper in the states. I got it at tigerdirect retail store here. Cheapest i saw on new egg was 236 at tigerdirect.ca. Although i have read that the q6600 2.4 is much faster than the Phenom X4 9850 @ 2.5.

Unless AMD pulls something from their rear like they did with their latest gfx cards (48xx series) then they are screwed for cpu.
