So I had for some reason gotten it into my brain that I should just switch back from Vista to XP Pro. I had good reasoning, Vista is not any faster on this 2gig ram machine then XP was on a 512mg ram machine. So, I figured, put XP on here and it'll be faster.
So I went through and created the bootable disc and backed up all my shit and wrote down the command lines I'd need to run to eject Vista from my machine so XP would be able to format it. Well, XP can't see my disc, and that's ok.
I gave up, I didn't have a very good excuse for switching to XP, plus, I had used Vista to back up all my data, so I wasn't entirely certain it would be able to come back from the dark side.
The good side is now I have all my data backed up for the inevitable crash, I won't have to reinstall all my programs and I went through all the options I never messed with before and now have Vista running kinda maybe sorta how I wanted it.
