The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How can I remove Vista and install XP when the drive is partitioned?

Asked by swordfishsoup in Windows Vista, Windows XP Operating System, PC Laptops

Tags: vista, remove

Hi

Bought a new laptop recently HP Pavillion dv9000. Just about ready to throw it out te window as it has Vista home premium on it, and although I thougt I'd persevere I've had enough of the incompatibilities with about everything I try to do...Rant over....SO

I did buy a fresh copy of XP at around the same time (before MSoft) hid them all in a cupboard. But I can't install as it tells me there is a newer version installed. I believe this has something to do with the drive having a partition and that if I could remove this I could reformat and install xp.

I just don't know how to do it.

I'm aware that I'll have to gather some drivers but it seems they are available from HP.

Thanks for your help

Dave
