I WANT MY XP BACK but I doubt I'd ever find XP 64 bit drivers ... right .. and 32bit won't work as I have 16gb of ram

Does xp have that TRIM for ssds???

How can I go back to XP without fucking myself?????
Simple. You can't. Instead of going backwards, fix your system. There is no perfect OS but windows 7 is close to it. You probably just had an app or random glitch that screwed you over. Reformat (which you sold do every 6 months anyways. Find out where the fualts started, check your system error log for hints and whatever is associated to it, do not install again or if its a windows component, google the resolutions and preventions.

All those simple complaints you have are fixable.. google them. Easy things do. 20 seconds, done. Once fresh system up and running with all your apps and whatnot installed, do a norton ghost. Voila. Instant system restore DVD for you. 60 mins top to restore. Drop in disk, set it to restore, go for cruise, come back, done as if the incident never happened.

Keep ALL your non-program files on another hard drive in the computer. Pics, video, documents, user created files, music, everything.

You run a business that relies on your computer, set yourself up for eventual system failure. It WILL happen. Whether it's mac, windows 7, useless XP (will only utilize one core at a time anyways) linux, anything. Doesn't matter, Plan your system smart and make it easy to recover.
