I'm trying to install XP. I play a lot of games, and Vista doesn't have the driver support for my new video card, and probably won't support it for some time based on 3d boards and driver sites.
I've tried dualbooting using very definitive guides that have worked for others, and I've tried various other methods, including just booting straight from my disk.
I've tried both 64 and 32 bit versions, and I know that my disks aren't faulty, because I used them on my old laptop and desktop.
The disk starts booting, loads many files and drivers, then puts out a last message 'Loading Windows' on that same screen. Then, I get a blue error screen without any real clues as to where the problem is aside from numbers and tech data I can't decipher.
Any ideas on what's wrong, or where I could send that tech data to get a better answer?
I love Vista; it has great interface/additions that I just don't want to give up, but I really want to get XP back so that I can play my games again.
Uninstalling Vista by trying to boot/install XP over the C drive doesn't work for me.?
NEED TO CLEAN UNINSTALLING THE VISTA OS, MAKE SURE ITS ALL GONE THEN YOU CAN INSTALL XP
Reply:Consider this an excellent time to recognize that
your operating system is defective. I recommend replacing
it with one of:
http://fedora.redhat.com
http://www.opensuse.org
http://www.debian.org
http://www.ubuntu.org
http://www.slackware.org
http://www.freebsd.org
http://www.opensolaris.org
Any of these will be more reliable, less susceptible to
viri, uses your hardware more efficiently, and they're
all free.
