My Toshiba a300 ...... I upgraded to XP (not downgraded ) only cause i love XP and starry night works well on it my thoughts are...........If your going to XP dont delete the 2nd partition , thats where the vista install files are and you can always get back to them for later......now ive looked at the disk manager and ive still got the 2nd partition there and the vista files are there sleeping, to check the partition go
right click on MY COMPUTER / MANAGE / DISK MANAGEMENT

This should show the partitions if ever you do the downgrade.

Then i got told if i ever want to go back to vista without recovery disks hold the 0 button whilst powering up that way it will boot from the 2nd partition but it will FORMAT and delete the HDD

P.S only what the dealer told me .......small advice from a dealer only...get more advice b4 attempting it.

Cheers Kev.
