Change of OS from Vista to XP on Pavillion dv6226TX

1. I have a HP dv6226TX Notebook PC. It came preloaded with Windows Vista Home Edition. 2. I want to load Windows XP on to this notebook. 3. I request if anybody can help me with this as the complete driver package is not available with HP. The customer care people were not able to help me out. Thank you.
