How To Revert Back To XP Or Vista From Windows 7.
If the computer has the Windows.old folder - Reverting Windows 7 back to a previous Windows system:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/971760
Windows.old on your C: drive - Usually, but not always, after installing Windows 7 you will have a Windows.old folder on your C: drive that contains data from the previous Windows installation. Open Windows Explorer and under "Computer" click on the C: drive - if the Windows.old folder is there you should be able to revert back to XP/Vista.
If it's not there, make sure you can see the Windows.old folder:
1. Click Start, type: hidden
2. Click "Show hidden files and folders"
3. Click to select "Show hidden files and folders"
4. Uncheck the next three items:
Hide empty drives
Hide extensions from known file types
Hide protected operating system files
5. Click OK and look for the folder
(Note: after you are done go back and recheck "Hide protected operating system files." If you want to change the other settings back do so.)
If there is no Windows.old folder:
If you have a restore partition (check your manual) you can use that, or if you have XP/Vista disks you can use those. If you don't have either and Windows came installed on your computer contact the OEM computer manufacturer and ask them to send you an install disk - they may or may not do it. If they agree to send you one they may charge a small fee.
