hi
sounds more like you installed Vista over XP...
what do you mean by 'i reformat'
'it shows' - what shows, where
can you not tell what OS is running when its booted?
cheers

It sounds more like you used the restore or recover function on a name brand OEM computer, and the restore image was Vista rather than XP.

Was this system downgraded to XP either by the manufacture or by a support tech?

It would be mighty sneaky if the restore image on an OEM downgraded system was still Vista.
