| | | | I had Xp on my compurter, I bought Vista home Premium UPGRADE, Help Says
I cannot revert back to XP. Previous Versions of Windows had a unistall
in Add/remove Programs, I see none in Vista!
Very Very Disatified with Vista. My Books have disapeared 3 times in
one WEEK , But Vista Mirrors them in internet Explorer and They are
there as Favorites, But Not in Mozilla. My Backup program that I used on
Xp, 10 minutes before I upgraded to Vista, IS NOT compatible with Vista.
So I cannot Retreave Bckups.
My only Recourse is to Fdisk and Reformat and Reinstall Xp Via The
Full Backup. THANK you very Much Microsoft For KILLING Mozilla/ Netscape
files so that I may Switch to IE.
I am going to polute the AIR by Burning The Complete Package of Vista
that I bought

I used a BLOW TORCH.
No more Help needed for Vista. I went back to XP.

Hi Tom,
That's because there's never been an option to uninstall an NT to NT system
upgrade (NT4->2000->XP->Vista). That option only existed in Win9x systems,
and there hasn't been a new one of them since WinME. There is however, this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933168
Not sure what you are referring to there. What files are these and what is
used to access them? Where are they stored?
You should have checked for compatibility before proceeding. Vista does
offer both the easy transfer program (data, settings, and accounts) as well
as the easy transfer companion (programs) that you could have used for this.
Doing a little homework before upgrading is not just recommended, it's
essential.
Fdisk went out with Win9x. If the above procedure in KB933168 does not work,
run XP setup and remove the install volume at the point where you choose the
installation location. Create a new one, then format and proceed with
reinstalling XP.
AOL killed Netscape, not Microsoft. Mozilla/Firefox can be easily
reinstalled on Vista.
If you sold a similar product, wouldn't you set the defaults to be your own?
Expensive fire, and the fumes would likely be out of most city/town
ordinances. Suggest you consider selling it on Ebay instead, as then you can
at least get some of your money back.

If you upgraded to Vista from WinXP, and retained the Windows.Old
folder:

Otherwise:
After backing up any data you wish to transfer to the new OS
installation, simply boot from the WinXP installation CD. You'll be
offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part
of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of
boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
