    I belive it is possible to 'downgrade' to XP from Vista (but i would call it a upgrade :p), however, i would recomend that you install a fresh copy of XP (backup all of your documents onto an external hard drive or DVD-R's).

    then fdisk/format...and install a fresh copy of XP..

    If you did an upgrade from XP to Vista without a clean install, it's possible, but not recommended as others have pointed out. Even if you choose not to, I'd still back up your important documents.
