    So I just picked up an Aspire 4730z with Vista preinstalled. I'd like very much to put it back to XP for convenience's sake but from what i've heard theres a little bit of difficult in doing so.

    I believe i've managed to find all of the appropriate XP drivers and I have a original XP SP1a disc. Can anyone walk me through the process of reformatting it all? Thanks very much for your help.
