Welcome Joseph16, I don't really know what an "era meg" is as I am not hip with the text lingo but, If you want to load XP instead of Vista, why don't you just do that and forget about whether or not vista loads?

So I should not worry about trying to fix vista and just try to get xp and load xp on it

I think era meg = error message.

If you really want to go back to XP:

You need to check your machine manufacturers website and see if they have XP drivers.

If they do , download them and copy to cd.

If they do not - you are out of luck.

If you are able to install it, there are instructions here:
