My boss got me a new Dell Laptop with Vista and Office 2007 preinstalled. I hate it. I took the Laptop home and now want to reformat the entire HD and then install my own copy of XP I have a factory disk with XP on it. I also have my own Office XP disk to install once I get XP running. I have tried to boot from the XP install CD and it wont work. It is driving me wild. It says serious error at check your bios.

mmm keep with MS Vista, it's cool, there are just some problems with it but keep upgrading the OS (operating system) in this case Vista, download updates, and will be a soon solve to this issue
still you cannot have the xp on the laptop because the computer does not accept vista to XP, it accept Xp to vista
but not the other way, or if you just want to buy a xp laptop but not recommend for anything
bye

Of course you went into your BIOS and selected to boot from CD, right? I doubt that's your problem but it's the first step (well, besides backing up data). Good luck!
- edit since original response... Are both versions 32 bit or 64 bit? If different, you may have to reflash your bios.

The hardware may be too new for XP to recognize it. You may not have another option.
