Downgrade from Windows 7 Beta back to Windows XP

[RQuick44]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to downgrade from the Windows 7 bets back down to XP or even Vista?

Wipe and reload the system.

Since in order to load Windows 7 on a machine running XP you need to either do a clean install or set up a dual boot, and your post doesn't suggest a dual boot is involved, the only way to reinstall XP would be a clean reinstall.  If you have your system restore disks, that would make life easier.  Vista offers more options since you can upgrade Vista to Windows 7 - that then allows for a downgrade using the archived OS files and settings.

Thanks for the help everyone. But I do have a few more questions.

1. How do I re-format my hard drive from outside of windows because when I try to Install Windows XP, the Install Windows XP option is grayed out.
