Hi, I want to downgrade windows 2k3 Server to XP. I'm unable to format the drive. I don't care if I loose my data. I just want to get rid of 2k3. I am sure that there would be ways of downgrading, I just don't know them. Your help would be greately appreciated as I'm just getting sick and tired of trying different things, so please help me.

:( :cry:

Well you can't downgrade to XP without reformating if you did not do a upgrade. May I ask why Windows 2003 is that bad? I know a lot of games that ran on 2000 don't run on 2003 but I don't ever play many games so I stick with 2003.

All you can do is reformat and reinstall XP from scratch.
