Default The nuclear option

Format the hard drive and install a shiny new copy of Windows XP Media edition. When I built my computer in February I bought XP Media Edition, which came with a free upgrade to Vista. I sent for and received Vista, which is occupying a space of honor on my shelf with no plans to install it any time soon. Best place for I say!

you can't reformat then install XPSP2?

it's sad, but this is what happens when you buy OEM(apple, dell, et al...), rather than build your own rig. let this be a lesson:p

I'm sure if you find out the actual components you can find drivers for XP, if they're not supported out of the box.
