I have a 7664-16U T61 (Widescreen) with Vista Business Edition installed. Very unhappy with Vista and would like to go back to WinXP Professional. Is there an image of XP Prof I could restore to, or is fresh install my only option?
Thanks.

Vista to XP downgrade.
Thanks! I guess I'm not alone when it comes to dissatisfaction with Windows Vista!
>>> I did contact Lenovo and they did send me the XP Pro image CDs for my T61. After making image of Vista (you never know...) I installed from the image and I now have XP Professional installed and running! (Funny how this sounds like a good thing! Everything is relative...) The web site did mention a charge, but I received no invoice, nor did the rep on the phone mention one.
I'd recommend to everyone in this situation to get the CDs regardless. Better to have them and not need them, than to need them and not have them!
Thanks for the pointer!!!
