How can I downgrade from Vista to XP, on my new Lenovo T400 laptop?

How can I downgrade from Vista to XP, on my new Lenovo T400 laptop?
I have a XP Professional CD (and yes, it's legit), and I do not like Vista, which was pre-equipped with the laptop. When I insert the CD, it does not give me the option to install XP; what should I do?

Go to your BIOS and make it so that your computer boots from a CD before going to the hard drive Then, Choose to install XP, go on the partition from your hard drive, press D to delete it, press F to format it, then install XP
2 :
yeah, wipe vista off your hard drive and do a fresh install of xp.
3 :
You must start the computer in recovery mode or the disc, you can't simple just run it from the disc like a normal driver.
4 :
You have to boot up with the CD to load it. But before you do this, make sure your laptop will run with XP. Some of the newer motherboards will not run on XP, for example. You also need to look for XP drivers for all of your devices.
5 :
Check with Lenovo's tech support to see if XP is supported on your computer. XP is ancient and obsolete and won't run on some modern computers, especially laptops. And since downgrading isn't supported, you'll need to format the hard drive before installing it. If the computer won't support XP, at that point you'll have an expensive boat anchor.

U should uninstall the previou version, and install a new version. After installed, under device manager, there wouldnt be any yellow sign appear. If yellow sign appear, check whether is sound device... If everything is ok and but still no output of sound, then i will recommend u to send to service center...

What is a good lenovo laptop under $700?

What is a good lenovo laptop under $700?
I was looking into the lenovo z565 series, but they don't sell those anymore and it's really hard to find. Any other recommendations? I want a laptop that can edit videos and than can play some decent games without lagging. This is going to be my college laptop, but i need it as cheap as possible because I don't want to break my budget.

In answer to your first questions, if you can find a T420 on sale then that would be an excellent laptop. Your next questions don't really have anything to do with your first one. If you want something that can edit videos and play games well then you are going to need to spend more than $700. Also get a desktop. You are going to get more power for the same price as you would with a laptop.
2 :
Curretnly, Lenovo doesn't make anything under $700 that I would buy. For that price range, I would look at a toshiba satellite series laptop. Lenovo has just tanked over the last couple of years.

Look at ebay or any other auction site and see how many of each brand is for sale in the lower price ranges. This is a good sign of which ones are still running after a few years.
2 :
Doesn't sound like a bargain to me. You can build a REAL computer for $1000
3 :
The place I work uses Lenovo laptops. I carry one back & forth to work every day and use it at home and at work. Its a workhorse, stands up to a lot of abuse and keeps on running. I'm impressed with the Lenovo. Grandpa
4 :
Consumer Report put Lenovo on top. Use Google to see what prices you can find on this laptop. If you have electronic stores in your area, go visit them and check on the prices. However, unless you are a big gammer, a good laptop can be had for about $600. Compaq, HP, and Acer are great. Now if you want flexability and easy portability, stay with a laptop. If you must have great graphics then have someone build you a desk top. A Mac laptop can be great but you may find software problems.
5 :
Is that $999 US? Go to lenovo.com You can get the top end G530 for $600 US. Lenovo systems are better then Dells.
