downgrade

I was surprised that inspite of having an advanced version of the Windows Media Player, the playback speed increment feature of the previous versions has not been included in the same spirit. Sure you can depress Ctrl+Shift+G but that increases the play speed to a meagre 1.4X. The previous...

I want to go back to XP. I have a XP CD and when I try to boot from it I get a message saying it cannot find a hard drive to install XP and I must quit instilation. How do I get rid of Windows 7?? Is there a way to format C drive and start over??
