No.

Check if your copy of Vista is downgradable. I've got a Dell with Vista Business and i could downgrade to XP sp2, but i like the vista for now.

will check

laptop came with 2 disks; 1 drivers & 1 reinstall. the reinstall is Dell's own branded Vista Home , not a retail version. I sent an email to Dell asking

my winxp is a retail disk

It will not void your warranty.

It shouldn't void your hardware warranty but any support contract you may have with them regarding software would in all likelihood be void.
