I have a Dell Latitude PCx 650mhz with PentiumIII. The machine is not able to
handel XP well. How can I return to 2000? The reason for the XP is a used
larger HD which had XP as OS. XP disables the setup section on my 2000 CD.
Can I do something on the Recovery Consol? Thanks.

You will have to re-install Win2000 and all your applications.

Format and install W2K fresh.

The normal way to "uninstall" any operating system is to format the
hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.

There is no "rollback" to Win2K. To replace WinXP with an earlier
OS, you'll have to boot from the appropriate boot disk, format the hard
drive, and install. There is no supported downgrade path or technique.

Simply boot from the Win2K installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and/or format the system partition as
part of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order
of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
