    Congrats! I just successfully installed windows xp on a laptop that had vista.

    I purchase the laptop back in 2006, I got it for $350 from Bestbuy. I got tired of Vista, the hardware on the laptop only support xp and vista drivers, so I could not put Windows 7 on it.:(

    The laptop is running great now! :woot:
