I recently did a clean install on my HP computer and put windows 7 on it. I now cannot update my Media audio controller, or PCI. I now want to put XP back on the computer, but it will not allow me to boot from the disc or upgrade. What to do?

HI godsproperty1952, do you have access to any hdd or low level formatting software. Think you will have to format your drive before your XP install disc will run. Did your HP come with a restore partition, if so and it is still available run that restore.
