Installing Windows XP Pro 64 Bit Edition on Dell XPS 1640?

I recently bought the XPS 1640 notebook from Dell, and I want to remove the operating system that accompanies Microsoft Windows Home Premium 64-bit, Windows XP Pro 64 Bit Edition. And if I do, it will delete all my drivers, but I have the Dell drivers and utilities disk, I can only install after installing Windows XP right? Is this a good idea?

It is a bad idea. For starters, Windows XP 64-bit is garbage. It is not supported very well and many 64-bit programs will not run on it. Secondly, the driver disk that came with the computer only has drivers for Vista, but does not contain all the XP drivers, much less XP 64-bit drivers (which are different from XP 32-bit drivers). On a final note, XP to Vista is inferior in almost every respect. If you really I hate Vista (doubtful. .. it is likely that you are not accustomed to it yet) you could always install Windows 7 in a few months, when she leaves.
