PC came brand new with XP Home pre-installed. But I installed Vista instead and now for some reason when I try to re-install XP after resetting the PC to install it from there (since I wont be able to do it while windows is running) I get the blue screen just when it finishes loading setup files and says Starting Setup at the bottom. I even tried a different hard drive and still same problem.. Only one i can install over n over again is Vista! Any1 knows whats up with this?

It's a conspiracy man! Seriously, take it to a professional.

Is the CD scratched? I'm guessing that may be the problem. If it's not, then you may need to make sure you are formatting the computer correctly, because you cannot simply downgrade. You must format the computer and reinstall everything.

Reformat the drive.
Then install XP.
