I had a Sony Vaio with V ista. It crashed so I had the hard drive taken out.
I have since installed a new hard drive and windows 7 which I hate. I want
go back to XP. I have an X P that came with my old desk top HP. Can I install this in this computer?

Also, I have no control over my cursor. This is driving me to tears trying to do my work. Thank anyone that will help me with this. Elizabeth

No, you will not be able to use an HP Windows XP disc in a Sony PC. Did you perform a new install of Windows 7, or did you upgrade the original Windows Vista? A fresh install of Windows 7 might be better than all the work it will take to get XP properly working.
