loook at billionfold's thread in the tech forum..

he had xp, and i'm guessing it came with one of those 'free limited time upgrade to vista' coupons... anyways, he had to reformat so decided to go ahead and give vista a shot... after realizing it sucked he learned he can't reinstall xp becuase his registration codes are no longer valid...

no it has nothing to do wtih dual booting

slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . for those who have vista upgrade 'coupons' and what not.... mods please leave this here for a day or so.... anyways, billionfold just found out the hardway and when you install vista through the 'free upgrade' option, your xp becomes invalidatable.... meaning you can no longer use it. since vista really does suck monkey balls.... I HIGHLY SUGGEST no one 'upgrades' (since it'd be a downgrade) just letting everyone know... before you find out the hard way too (btw his thread can be found in the computer section.) Rating: 5
