    Why do you want to? What are you going to do with it after wiping it?

    First please don't start a new thread for follow-up. Use the Answer This question options to post a response. I've merged the tw threads for you.

    I do not recommend downgrading a Vista machine to XP. A Vista machine is optimized for Vista and some of the hardware may not work with XP. So you should check that first.

    But what you want to do is boot to your XP CD and do a fresh install of XP.

    That's what a fresh install does, it wipes the HD before installing XP
