setting computer back old windows

well i installed windows vista, and i was wondering how do i turn it back in to my original window (windows xp).?
when i start up it gives me the choice to start windows or an earlyer version of windows, but when i press the earlyer it just keeps on loading yet nothing really happends..

you will have to reinstall the previous version from CD that wot i had to do! it is a right pain!

Maybe you should have read the Windows Vista webpage that stated you can NOT GO BACK after installing Vista. Your ONLY option is to back up your data and reformat your hard drive, there is NO ROLLBACK! NO UNINSTALL!
This release is for those of us that want to test out and poke around with the new OS and expect it to crash, be buggy and do weird things. Those of us that like to play with the latest software knowing full well it could bomb out at any time and we lose our data.
