Article on downgrading from Vista gives Gparted a recommendation!

The password problem can be bypassed by using something else to format the C:\ drive. I chose Gparted (gparted.sourceforge.net).

This is a Linux disc drive partition editor that sounds scary but is simple to use because you can run it directly from a CD.

You need to download a disc drive image, burn it and then boot from the CD. After that, XP installed without a hitch.

They should say how to upgrade from Vista to Linux.
