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!

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 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?
