Nick Dale Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 (edited) Story is..I'm running windows vista ultimate...To be quite frank i have had enough of it and want to revert back to xp.I have made a partition on my harddrive and im planning on putting all the stuff i want in this partition and then formatting the one that has eerything installed on..including Vista. Then installing XP back on it. The only problem i'm thinkin i will have is getting the data off of the partition again once i have XP back on my pc. There is alot of stuff i need to keep and i don't want to have to try download it all again. My question really is will this work? Or will it just not be accessable because its a different OS?

Danny Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 XP/Vista both use NTFS partitions so you can read between the two fine. Just don't expect copying any program files over to work though without the original installers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
