As he states in his post - most new machines are shipping with Vista on them, plus he didn't buy the machine - so I don't think it's fair to kill the guy for this. As I said in my post, get a HD caddy for about £10 and stick the drive with the duff xp installation in it. You will then be able to take off any data and reinstall a clean copy of xp.
I have vista installed and use it a lot - but I have dual booted my pc so that I have an XP option also. Agree with the HP comment. To not write a driver for a major sw release is pretty bad - as I said earlier, is there a compatible driver which might allow them to print eg a bog standard colour laserjet driver - I would have thought it would be backwardly compatible
