    Check if your copy of Vista is downgradable. I've got a Dell with Vista Business and i could downgrade to XP sp2, but i like the vista for now.

    will check

    laptop came with 2 disks; 1 drivers & 1 reinstall. the reinstall is Dell's own branded Vista Home , not a retail version. I sent an email to Dell asking

    my winxp is a retail disk

    It shouldn't void your hardware warranty but any support contract you may have with them regarding software would in all likelihood be void.
