Vista - How to end the nightmare?
      Wed Mar 19 2008 08:15 PM

I finally got so fed up with Vista on this laptop last night I decided to go back to XP, this after months of rebooting because of Vista problems. I set the PC to boot from CD drive, put XP disc in, booted, um, no, seems my Acer laptop has some sort of protection that stops the CD booting? The bios has no option to remove the vista infected hard drive from the boot list, I can only move it up or down the list. Of course the disc will not install when running in vista, the install XP option is faded out, obviously because vista is a more advanced better operating system. Anyway, any ideas how I can get this laptop to boot from CD before I throw it out the window. I just want my XP back!
