Downgrade From Vista Basic To Xp

Downgrade . . . ha-ha! lol

dozrmars made some points

yh! thats true , after installing WIndows XP, there's a tendency that Windows Vista might not show up during startup! this is true, but there are several articles with ways to dual boot Windows Vista/XP. You will need a small handy tool called "Easy BCD" - Google for that!


My Dear Friend, when did an Operating System become a Device . . ?

First of all, What are Drivers?

I understand a driver to be a program that controls a device. Every device, whether it be a printer, disk drive, or keyboard, must have a driver program. Many drivers, such as the keyboard driver, come with the operating system. For other devices, you may need to load a new driver when you connect the device to your computer. In DOS systems, drivers are files with a.SYS extension. In Windows environments, drivers often have a.DRV extension.

It was not mentioned any where that an OS is a device, and drivers are required to have your OS show up on Grub _{[oops, sorry - linux addict]} errmm . . .on the Windows Boot Loader.

So Please, explain if I made a mistake somewhr!

Mr Ralsvy, u seem not to understand my sentence, from ur contribution it shows u are the theoritical type.
To explain further drivers or softwares for devices installed on a computer system would have to runned on a platform and that platform is windows. Windows vista and windows xp are the two platform having this issue of drivers, with these there exist different drivers for these devices like vga card,sound card,modem etc.
That is to say vga driver for vista is different from vga driver for xp.

@techkid.
that form of knowledge is supposed to be shared freely. it floats all over the internet - those who pay for it might as well be dubbed idiots

Some people correct when they need correction! Sometimes I hate some replies in nairaland . At first, Ralvy laughed- no suggestion to the poster of the thread! Then dozymars replied with what will help the poster and he came out without first understanding dozymars's statement and started claiming to be wiser!

@dozymars never mind these set of people! They must surely gather but if their gathering is not for NAIRALANDERS, they will scatter!!!
