I wan't to uninstall Windows Vista and install Windows XP Home Edition . How can i do that ???

About two weeks ago i upgraded my Windows XP home edition to Windows Vista Home Premium and my resolution wont change from 480 by 640 whatsoever my comp info is my footer any help please.Oh and my resolution on XP was 1024 by 768

I have Windows XP Home Edition installed on one 40Gb partition (D) and I have Windows Vista Home Premium Edition installed on another 40Gb partition ©. I select what OS to boot up on the boot manager. I want to delete windows xp and merge the 40Gb partition from that into the 40Gb vista partition to make 80Gb. I have been told that If I just format the xp partition and merge it into the Vista partition then my boot manager will malfunction and I wont even be able to boot up vista then. Can someone clarify my position here as I want to do it the sooner the better?

Thanks,James

Hi, I hope I'm in the right place, I have a laptop set up as per the specs below. I have Vista home premium and a new 60Gb HD, I would like to know the best and most efficient way of installing both without buying any special software?. What goes first new OS or HD how do I keep all Files and Settings, Emails etc?

I do have an external HD as shown below.
If you could please help me with some clear, simple but thorough step by step instructions to make it all happen.

Would you also suggest any other upgrades required to get the most out of Vista.

Also do you think I should run large programs like Illustrator, Photoshop etc from the External drive.

the only reason i am buying vista is because i had bought windows xp home edition 3 years ago and i have the cd but the key is no where to be found and after a virus i had to reformat and am currently running windows 98 , when installing vista upgrade when it asks for cd if i put in my xp cd do i need to put in the cd key?

 Hack to Change Windows XP Home to Windows XP Professional

Diggdel.icio.usFurl

Enable the features found in Windows XP Professional on your Windows XP Home Edition installation with this hack. It will allow you to turn your Windows XP Home CD into a Windows XP Professional CD.

Note: If your Windows XP CD does not contain Service Pack 2, you might want to Slipstream Your Windows XP CD first as you will not be able to upgrade an installation after using the CD.

1. Copy the root directory and the i386 directory of the WindowsXP CD to your hard drive.

2. Extract the Bootsector of your Windows XP CD. You can use BBIE to do this.

3. Click START-->RUN-->REGEDIT

4. Highlight

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

5. Click FILE-->LOAD HIVE and select the Setupreg.hiv file
This file is located in the i386 folder. Use the one you extracted to your hard drive from your Windows XP CD.

6. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Homekey\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd

7. Edit the DEFAULT key and change the following values:

01 to 00
02 to 00

8. Change the name to the value HOMEKEY to anything.

9. Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Homekey\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd

Edit the DEFAULT key and change the following values:

01 to 00
02 to 00

10. Highlight HOMEKEY and select

FILE-->UNLOAD HIVE

You can now burn the data on your hard drive to a CD to make a new Windows XP CD. Then use the CD to install Windows XP. Be sure to make the CD bootable. You can use the instructions here to help you do that.
