Yes, the original os is vista on the machine and although I can get recovery disks I want to use xp to retain the use of my printer, scanner and scanner software. The machine came from an ebay company with no operating system installed, that is why I did not have a problem the first time. I guess my main question is: how do I get back to that position where the machine has no operating system installed? I think if I could do that, I could unhook those readers and do it right this time.
