Put all your documents on an external storage. Reformat drive. Insert XP disk. Unfortunately there isn't downgrading like their upgrading option.

HI, You can use windows 7 to repartition your existing drive, install windows XP to that new partition and you have a dual boot system keeping your existing os intact.

Hey mark, dual boot you mean when i start my Pc and i'm givien two choices which OS to start?

I'm going to partition my hard drive and give it a try.

yep, but i had to download two drivers for Video Card and Sound and installed it with no problems and i had to install a program called EasyBCD to manage my boot up settings so i can select which OS to start, Windows 7 or XP.

I;m going to compare them to see how it suits and see if it is good.

What i am running on XP Professional is

2.40GHZ Intel Core 2

3 GB of RAm

254MB of video

which it is running smoothly.

Been a day installing the OS and getting everything out.

Thanks to everyone who awnsered my questions today. :)

Windows 7 will require more system resources than XP so you may notice some performance differences. I personally will not be going back to XP. I have 7 on my work system and it is great. It works wonder with Server 2008 in a domain enviroment but most don't have that setup at home. :-)

I agree with you, Windows 7 is good for my FS2004. so i;m still thinking about it and i might stick with Windows 7 and i will need new drivers but first i have to get a new power supply so i can upgrade the system to fly good on FS2004.

When i always land it always mess up my landings and my landing rate are not really good becasuse of the damn lags.
