is there anyway to go back to xp from vista and keep my data besides burning it all to dvds because i have way too much stuff to backup. or should i just make a new partition and install xp on it and start moving data to that partition and then delete the vista partition? thanks.
Only possibility to do it without problems is to buy an external hard disk, put all your files on it, launch xp, and put everything back. Same thing as you said, except I don't use DVD's wich wear out my laser.
norton partition magic - split the drive an then install xp - get it all goin move the files over an then use that to remove the vista an then just resize it back to the normal size this should take u a few to do but u cant just down grade an keep files like that - u have to burn or move em over but ya
thanks sedative but i dont have any money for an external hd lol thats what i was thinking big thanks ill do that =]
no prob man if u dont know how to use that program make sure u read an crap on what u doin cuz if not u will ------ it up an have to start band new k - cuz alot of ppl cant or dont know how to use that program well
usually i have 4+ partitions partitions 1-2(and up) OSes partition 3 programs/games(some atleast) partition 4 files my advice is this, partition for the hell of it.
yea i know how to use partition magic i just need to find my dads cd for it lol yea im going to make a lot of partitons from now on lol im going to ask my dad if i can get an external hd what are some good low budget choices? ill use it just for files and just keep my os and programs on my laptop hd
