I've had Vista for about 6 months and the drivers being released are taking forever, and seem to cause more problems then they fix. My older laptop with a less powerful processor and built in video runs video games better.

Questions: Toshiba specific, do they yank the warranty if you install windows xp? 6 months left so, it's whatever...
What do I need to do, from start to finish?
Will the biometric fingerprint reader still work on xp, granted I find the driver?
If I mess up, what exactly do the included recovery disks do? EG: If there is nothing on the HD, it's wiped clean, will the recovery disks put me back in Vista?
Looking for someone with a Satellite/Toshiba laptop who has successfully installed Windows XP in place of Vista, or.... how can I tweak out Vista and get things running better? I downloaded the latest Bios Flash, and the video drivers made things run horrible so I rolled back....
thanks in advance, sorry for the jumbled post, I just want to unlock this laptops potential...
