    Hi I recently purchased a Sager 2090 pre installed with Vista64 and was wondering if anyone knew of a guide or best way to go about switching it to Vista 32 (i got it preinstalled with 64 from Sager bcuz it they send both versions)

    Is it kinda like XP? in which i'd boot from the vista 32 disk, wipe the partition (where vista 64 would be), and install from scratch? or trickier than that?

    Wipe you HDD, then install using 32-bit. alternatively you can do dual-boot between 64 and 32-bit (I will do that when I get my core 2 duo)

    Is something not working on your 64-bit version? W Tanoto is right, though, a format and reinstall is the way to do it.
