Have tried this but it keeps coming up saying that Vista version is newer
version than XP and will not proceed.

Hi,

I have tried to reformat my Vista back to Win XP but the computer is
having none of it, can anyone tell me how to get round a new install.

Thanks

Insert XP CD. Restart computer. Tell the computer to boot from CD.
