You could always take pictures of the computer, try to catch the stickers... and one good picture of the motherboard.  Is that possible?  Then we can just retrieve the numbers ourselves if the pictures are clear enough.

If it's HP, Compaq, or anything similar to that, The system won't really work right if you tried to upgrade or downgrade. Clean installs are what you should be doing. (Back up all your data and wipe the OS drive)

Also XP doesn't play nice with a little thing called AHCI. That could be what's preventing you from going to XP. Look it up.

ACHI  is what I was talking about.  Thanks for the memory refresher.

im not going to do anything like thats stuff because im fine with using Vista, reformating it without delleting the OS was just because i didn't want to re-install the OS, but i will talk my computer nerd into helping me do all this, that person again the one guy i always bring up for some magical reason from outer space: Alan.

Quote from: WikipediaThe Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) is a technical standard defined by the Intel Corporation that specifies the operation of Serial ATA (SATA) host bus adapters in a non-implementation-specific manner.

You can typically disable that, either in the BIOS or a bootdisk.
There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those that don't.

Arooo!

Anytime you really want to start from scratch and rebuild your system you need to wipe the hard drive.  This does not mean you delete all the files or delete the partitions but rather write zeros across each and every sector of the hard.  The program I use is free and called Kill Disk.  I will find it on www.download.com .

I already did that, and installed Windows 7. I'm on a new PC that had the same problem, Since I had the Killdisk and operating system on disk I got to keep it after my dad switched to a laptop. This thing has like six or eight gigs of RAM :D great for running games.
