Downgraded from vista to XP Pro?
Can Gateway ML6022j be downgraded from vista to XP Pro in either its pre-installed Japanese OS or can I just install English & Japanese XP Pro on separate partitions & keep the Vista OS? & whats the best & easiest method? I know drivers may be an issue, do Gateway support XP Pro drivers? A link to XP Pro drivers would be nice, thanks in advance.

Thanks yfastud:
But I am Japanese thus need dual boot OS..English & Japanese XP Pro.
Everyone knows Vista is ME:2, thus only a paper weight / boat anchor.
Also Japanese OS is superior to English OS for Asian Languages.

Done, I will now go & buy it @ Yen 30,000 new, its a one time only sale & too cheap to miss out on.
I have set up over 30 dual boot computers but heard that some of the new Vista models dont support XP.
Then I will see if the drivers work, & if so, you get the points.

Sorry for delay...someone turned off the sun, so I had to go see it.
Next time is 26 yrs later & I will be ???, by then.
I got my new PC only to find it broken on delivery, so to say sorry they gave me the newest model at the same price.

Are the driver the same?
I should be doing this myself (see my profile & you will understand)... but I have never asked a question & think that I should give some points to others + I am getting lazy, or too too much beer is distracting me lately.

I have had no reply, so I contacted Gateway direct, only to be told that they dont support dual boot...thus no driver support fof XP.????
