    So, after using my notebook for like 3 months or so and just dreading Vista the whole way, I've finally had enough and am going to return to XP. I was following the XP installation guide in the sticky, and I was just wondering if it would be better to create seperate partitions for Vista and XP so I could keep Vista in case XP dies, or to just delete Vista completely. If I should create seperate partitions, how exactly do I do that? and if I should just delete Vista completely, should I save windows.old like I did before doing a clean install of Vista. If so, do I just move the old windows.old folder to a seperate hard drive?

    Thanks for the help
