Please, whatever you do SM

unless someone is going to sit on the phone with you and help and will guarantee your system can be salvaged, DO NOT try to overwrite Vista with XP.  I don't work for Keystrokes, but I did try to do this myself and it was a mess.  I ended up having to restore the whole thing back to Vista only with none of the other programs I had on it.
