Hi acurara,

You cannot downgrade from Vista to XP just by installing using a XP cd.

Here are some links which I believe will be helpful for you.

boot from your OSX disc, holding "c" during bootup... then use the utility to do the necessary..

then reinstall your OSX

that's it

No advertising. Period.

Depending on the version of Vista, you may or may not be able to downgrade. Business and greater have the ability to downgrade, Home Premium and Basic do not.

Installing an XP CD requires a valid XP licence.
