Your "Profiles" folder contains your complete
message history archive on your computer. You can copy it to the same

included instructions for Windows XP and Windows Vista users.

Open the "Run" command: press Windows Logo+R on your keyboard.
Copy and paste the text below into the Run command ' then click OK:

Warning: Copying your
Profiles folder to another computer overwrites any existing message
history archive on that computer and it is replaced by yours. That
overwritten message history archive will be permanently eliminated by
this process. (Workaround: Backup that message archive first to a
storage medium such as a CD ROM.)

You need a windows Vista disc. Insert the disc and follow the prompts. I would format the hard drive instead of upgrading do a new install. The best way would be to go into your bios and make sure the boot device order has the cd-rom booting before the hard drive. Then put the disc in and start the computer, when it says press any key to boot from cd hit any key and let it load and then follow the prompts to install.
Your trying to downgrade this means you have to use vista cd to format the hard driver, and after the laptop restart, load the Xp. Also sometimes this code comes if you donot use the original xp windows.
use a vertualization software "vmware workstation" and you would be able to work on xp without installing it physically. this software is used to run several operating systems at one time.

you can use the trail version for 30 days
(1) go to Hp.com - load load the necessary Xp drivers for your unit - burn them to cd - then aquire a replacement hdd - install Xp on that - install the required drivers and walla you have one hdd with vista and another with XP
There are Linux password recovery programs on the Internet that allow you to remove the passwords on User accounts.
You can Google search and download the program, you then need to make a boot CD with this program.
ALternately you can purchase a copy of Windows XP or Vista and wipe Windows 2K and install XP or Vista on the laptop.
Go to the HP site(google it) then go to downloads, then drivers, then select you Printer model, then select the scanner drivers, make sure you change the operating system from windows XP to Windows vista, then download them.
should the problem persist, go to the microsoft site, in the search tab, type "HP 5610 scanner drivers for windows vista.
Unfortunately, even though you have paid for a Vista license, this does not mean you can just install any copy of Windows XP. You need to purchase either Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional. If its a business system you would be better with Windows XP Pro.
The reason for purchasing is that the software is licensed to you, you may wish to contact Toshiba and see if they can swap your Vista license for a Windows XP license. The other option is picking up a copy of Windows in the shop and installing it yourself. This is no easy task unless you have experience doing so.
Please try either contacting Toshiba to see what they say, or see about purchasing your own windows XP.
Well, I'm amazed a C640 runs Vista at all.
There's no reason to buy a new hard drive, except for the novenlty of having one loaded with Vista on a C640.
It's a great laptop, and runs Windows XP PRo perfectly well.
If you have one od the Dell XP install disks, just boot from it, and whenever it finds the vista install, hit excape, then at the next screen hit "D" to delete the partition, then choose "quick format", and load the Operation system.
If you need an install disk,let me know.
Good luck
