Hi guys, I have Vista RC1 installed, I have decided to go back to xp for a a few months or so until some of the Vista drivers mature a little bit more, no point in spending money in Vista when XP will do the job, I will give up DX10 for now but only Halo 2 requires Vista and half my games don't play friendly with Vista, mostly battlefield 2, my epson printer even with the Vista patch, ATI 550 TV turner, creative cards are not used at full potential (due to having to change D3D game sound and EAX sounds to the new standard which is more software sound oriented than hardware) overall I like Vista but because it's not totally functional even with win xp compatibility mode it's better to go back to xp for me. I also run a 8800gtx
I remembered when I first got it tried to go back but xp would not run with Vista installed, what's the easiest way to reformat my hard drive? run the Vista install and have it reformat then back out when it comes to the install part or somehow see if I can xp to reformat? I think I tried using the xp to reformat and no luck, also tried the install cd from the hard drive to reformat. What can I do?
I really love Vista but with some of the smaller things I feel like I get less things done in Vista since I have to use other alternatives or not use some things at all. Thanks guys.
