Answer» hi guys,
i have an old computer i use as back up, and mistakenly installed a PIRATE copy of windows 7 which is horrible, i want to GO back to win XP,, but it wont let me format and REINSTALL, saying saying the windows system is older then the one i am trying to install !!!
So my question is how do i format my computer, clean so i can reinstall windows XP, ??Boot from Windows XP CD and when your given installation location choices delete all prior partitions which may show as unknown. Then create a new partition for XP and then TELL windows XP to install to this partition. You will want to backup any DATA first as for the hard drive will be wiped clean.
