your other option is a dual boot situation, where XP and vista both reside on the hard drive. when the system boots, it gives you 30 seconds to choose which opsys you want to run. just never choose vista. you do this through the XP install disc. when it asks what kind of file system you want to install, choose the option that leaves the current file system (no need to backup your files with this one). personally, this is how i would've installed vista, having had so many problems in the past with fresh releases of microsoft software.
to be honest, i don't like that idea. i'm gonna just format it. i just gotta find someone with xp now...
