I installed Vista Home Premium as an upgrade to XP Pro. It saved my XP
installation as Windows.old.

Is there a way to uninstall Vista and rollback to my previous installation
of Pro?

TIA,
Barry

As Rick said, but you should really think about it. Are there some issues
that might be solved if you would post them to these newsgroups?
 
Not with Vista Home. You would need a reformat and a clean install. I would back up files and other things that you want to have installed back on XP

Barry:

If you are willing to play a bit you might try installing Vista HP "clean".
That is, from scratch on a reformatted harddrive. Upgrading is often
accompanied by 'issues' which clean installing precludes. Just an idea. Have
a look here for instructions on clean installing with the upgrade media:

Post more questions on this newsgroup for info on the process.
