[AccessD] Downgrading Vista

There are also hardware changes that work in Vista and not XP, such as
the new Serial ATA hard drives.  Doing an install with Vista, and it
flies right through, try to install with XP, and it won't even see the
hard drive!

Depending on the machine you have, it may not be possible.  Apparently
some manufacturers don't provide XP drivers for their devices now that
Vista is out.  I have a friend who does this kind of thing for a living
and he's had HP laptops that simply could not be downgraded to XP and
work.

I am fed up with Vista Ultimate on my laptop. I want to downgrade to XP
Pro and I have 2 bootable CDs with it. However, my damn laptop won't let
either one boot. It starts and then I get the Blue Screen of Death with
the following (useless) message:

STOP: 0x0000007E
(0xC0000005, 0xF748E0BF, 0xF78DA208, 0xF78D9F08)

Pci.sys - Address F748E0BF base at F7487000, Datestamp 3b7d855c

How do I format the damn hard drive with Vista?

TIA
