Downgrading to XP
I have an Inspiron 530 and do not like Vista at all. I would like to install Windows XP, and I have a copy of it and know how, i just would like to know if I install XP, will my recovery partition still work?

Alright, thanks both of you, going to go download the Audio drivers and start the process. One last thing, where it says "path=d:/windows;/d:/windows/system32 d: CD Tools PC Restore" The first line, is that all together and do I use the semi-colon?
Exactly as you see it... After EACH LINE press ENTER- Alright, thanks both of you, going to go download the Audio drivers and start the process. One last thing, where it says "path=d:/windows;/d:/windows/system32 d: CD Tools PC Restore" The first line, is that all together and do I use the semi-colon?
- Newbie to Vista, but love XP now compared to bottom of the barrel Vista. I have an ancient Inspiron 4150 notebook and was wondering if I could use that Windows XP CD to install on a new M1530. Or do I need to request/demand an XP copy from Dell. Thanks to all.
