How do you get around to reformatting your hard drive if it says that the system windows xp is newer version than the one trying to install?

In: Windows

Answer

Well...why would you wish to return to an older version? You could try to uninstall any Service packs or Hot fixes in "Add/Remove Propgrams" in the Control Panel. Then try to install the older version. Keep in mind that a clean install is always better
