How can I install XP in a Gateway MD7820u notebook that comes with Vista pre installed? I've tried but it keeps giving an error and don't let me install XP. Without XP the notebook is useless.Can somebody give me hints about this problem or it's that Windows is locking the PC's to unrecognize XP and push the Vista OS.Please help!

You have 2 options here, you can either wipe the hole hard drive and install XP but before you do be sure you have a XP product key, the 2nd thing you can do it set the system to dual boot this means you can have both visa and xp on the same laptop which option do you want to go with?
