Is there an easy way to replace the Vista OS with XP? I bought a new laptop about a month ago and it has Vista. Aftere toying with it, I have just about had it with Vista and I want to go back to old faithful - XP Pro. I have the XP disk, but as I am being told, it's not that simple to wipe out Vista and start with XP.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I can tell you I just did a new partition, format c and a re-install of XP.


You will lose everything, of course.
