If it's on NTFS you'll have to start over.

It would be better to start over anyway. Downgrades are just not possible if you want a reliable result.

It's dangerous to skim an Ashton post. Even more dangerous to reply!

Cheers,

New Umm: new HD
"Downgrade" (with a new HD - fdisk, clean install) means: possibly the hardware was never tested on <Ex Pee; certainly no Dell droid would even hint at the possibility it would run. In fact: it does (so far).

Nothing to lose, trying - while possibly escaping the agony of arranging all the logstics with XP so as never to visit the Update site, then close all the (new) loopholes. ie, for me - acquiring new Doze lore I'd rather not acquire.

I like when things catch fire and explode, which means I do not have your best interests in mind.
