Hi Drew

What new SATA drives??!  Or are these HP/Dell/.. proprietary ones?

Mine are about as new as they come (Barracuda 7200.11 1TBs), and work fine
with both Vista and XP.

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
