Very often I’ve come across friends and colleagues who wish to go back to Windows XP, either due to the ever-hanging Vista experience, or due to incompatibility of certain software with later versions of Windows.
Here we shall see how to install Windows XP on a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment or SATA hard disk.
- Back up all your documents on an external drive
- Make a note of all the programs you have installed and would like to re-install after getting Windows XP on your computer
- Collect as many important software items as possible, like :
- Not necessary to be said, a copy of Windows XP installation disk
- Antivirus applications
- Hardware drivers for all components compatible with Windows XP, after making a list of all the hardware you have from the Manage devices page
- Anything else you would need immediately after installing Windows XP
Schedule the installation of Windows XP on a day when you would have at least 2 hours of undisturbed access to your computer.
