I have Windows 7 on two computers. On one of the computers i want to downgrade from 7 to XP. I have the XP installation disk, but whenever I put the disk in to attempt to boot from it during startup, it bypasses it and boots normally. I checked the BIOS and disk is set to boot before the HD. I did a quick search and found that 7 is bypassing the disk boot because XP is a lower version of Windows than 7. Everyone online was saying the only way to downgrade was to format the HD and do a clean install of XP. I thought it would be easy enough but when I try to format from Computer Management, the option is "grayed" out. I guess because the C: drive is a system disk.
I dont need any files from the HD all I want to do is wipe it clean. Any help would be great. -Thanks
