I research http://www.seagate.c...us&name=installnha

I have a windows vista ultimate laptop.When I bought it it had Windows
xp on it.I upgraded it to windows vista then it started rebooting.So
when the computer shop people tried to put Windows xp the computer
didn't respond they said that it is beacause of the sata harddisk.After
somehow they put Windows xp.then my dad put windows vista again.Now it
works properly.but I want to put windows xp now should i do it?

Thanks

Hi and Welcome -

Do you have your own XP CD , or was this all done by a shop.
You will need your own personal copy of a CD to do a clean install of XP first.
There are directions on doing your own personal install if you have the CD and your computer has a Microsoft ID to match it.

To further add to what is said...

Do you have the drivers you need for XP? We might be able to get them from the internet.
XP does not have SATA drivers built in. You will have to supply a driver using the F6 key when asked.

Do you know if you have the original recovery discs for the unit? This will have what you need for full recovery including all drivers (assuming XP was original on the unit).
Do you know if the laptop has the recovery partition intact? Probably not with all of the different OS's put on it.
