So I used Vlite and removed Windows Update from the install. What I didn't know is that I needed that to install hotfixes. Is there a way to put in the Vista CD in and install Windows Update?

If you use xp and upgrade to vista, your XP cd key is no longer valid, and i think when you update to vista again it will not work since when you upgraded to vista your voided your xp cdkey. So you can really only upgrade once i think.... I will look for a source later if needed. No I didn't use the XP product key. I used the product key that come with the laptop. It was under the bottom of the laptop.

I bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista Home Premium. Decided I want to go back to XP Pro. Then decided that I should go back to vista. Instead of putting in the Toshiba Recovery CD. I decided to run vlite on the upgrade DVD and install from that instead. I put in the vlite Vista DVD and chose custom install without putting in the product key. After installation. I put in the DVD again and chose upgrade but this time put in the product key. Now Vista say that I have the wrong product key. What I'm I doing wrong? thanks

So let me get this right. I should use the original Vista upgrade DVD to install but don't put in the key. Then after that, put in the vlite-made upgrade disc?
