vista hardrive out & put in new hardrive and load XP

by waverly.nichols . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

Unfortunately my husband bought a Toshiba that is Vista capable and we never upgraded to down load Vista to the laptop. We hate Vista! I think anything that is on the laptop is also on the XP desktop. Can I take out the “vista capable” hardrive and insert a brand new hardrive and use my XP disk that came with my old computer to load XP on to the laptop? I think I read something about having to format the new hardrive before installing XP on it? I’m so confused!!! (or maybe I’m an idiot!)Thanks!
