I don't believe you can change back to your original operating system through a system restore, best bet would be to look for the XP cd and product key that came with the computer
But i could be wrong, wait for some more educated opinions from people like elpacco or slovach. |

You'd need to wipe Vista from the drive and reinstall windows XP, UNLESS the original installation of XP (pre built pc) came with a partition for a system backup (bad wording here, sorry) and you didn't wipe that partition when you installed Vista.. but I doubt that's the case. _________________

Some prebuilt computers has a "restoration" harddrive that allows you to reset your OS to the time of manufacturing.
First of all, is your computer custom-built or prebuilt? |

If it's prebuilt, then I'm pretty sure it comes with a recovery disk.
Use that to reformat your whole computer back to normal. |

Short answer: no.
You could try and upgrade it to Windows 7 though, which would save you the hassle of backing up your stuff at the cost of a few hundred dollars and 3-5 hours of time. |
