Downgrade p6153f from Vista to XP

[DwayneR]

Good day to all.  I recently purchased a HP p6153f which comes with Windows Vista Home Premium.  However, I'd like the option to downgrade this machine to Windows XP.  Can anyone point me towards the appropriate drivers?  Many thanks!  dwayne

DR, here is a link to an article that you should read before making the final decision:

This is one of the most important items to note:

CAUTION: HP does not recommend changing the operating system from Windows Vista to Windows XP and does not support doing so. The outcome may leave your computer in an unknown state, functionality may be diminished, and you may need to acquire Windows XP compatible application software, drivers, or even hardware.

The drivers are no doubt available here on the website.  One of us will help you if you still want to procede.

 Thanks for the warning.  However, this is simply another in a long string of machines that I have had to downgrade because of software incompatiblity problems.  That said: I actually purchased this machine to run Windows 7.  I'm looking for XP drivers because I want to set the box up for multi-boot: XP, Vista, Win7.  Thanks!  dwayne
