I downgraded my laptop from Vista to XP a year ago. I'm not sure if anything has changed since that time, but even formatting didn't help to downgrate because XP coun't initialize SATA. I dowbloaded XP drivers pack from my laptops website and I had 2 options:
1. Buying an external floppy drive for my laptop to run the boot disquette from it
2. Having my friend programmer build in the XP sata driver in XP installation CD (boot version with formatting is needed in this case)
I went with option #2 and successfully downgraded.
It may vary from laptop to laptop (depending on the version of vista installed)
