How to downgrade to XP?

[alleyes]

hi answertome

i tried all,but still there .

the issue took place after i tried to dual boot xp with pre-installed Vista.

-do you think Hard Disk failure ?.

What dose this mean "error loading opreating system"?

i got this error message during the XP installition process after rebooting.

so i tried to do the installation again but this time stuck.

[burnemdown]

the drivers were really helpful, but the one i need most is the ethernet controller driver and the page doesnt work 😞 any other suggestions?

hmmm i followed the instruction to downgrade my HP DV7-1175NR VISTA HOME PREMIUM TO XP PRO.. I DEVIDED INTO 2 PARTITIONS 1 FOR VISTA AND OTHER FOR XP PRO SP3.

GOT EVERYTHING WORKS BUT SOME OF THE DRIVERS ARE NOT WORKING.

ALSO THE START UP ARE SO SLOW AND WHEN VIEWING FILES ARE SLOW TOO.

PLEASE HELP

THANKS

Hi I am having hp pavillion dv4 1225 ee successfully downgrade to XP and successfully installed all driver except audio

after trying the method in this forum it detects audio driver but not able to installed it can any1 help me installing the audio driver

[zdoe]

well, just got my dv4t. 2.8GHz chip. it says dv4t-1000 on the bottom. trying to get XP on, but regardless of which set of AHCI drivers i try i get the 7B BSD.

have tried:

8.2.3.1001 - the one that was first recommended on this thread

8.2.0.1001

8.6.0.1007

the latter two are downloads from other threads regarding the XP upgrade on dv4t.

i've not slipstreamed my XP disk, instead i'm using the F6 -floppy-boot method with an external floppy drive, but i don't know that that should change anything.

what can give? i was optimistic & thought that my dv2700t hard drive would just boot on this one as well, but no such luck.

also - miniPE doesn't boot either - it gets stuck on the winPE screen and never progresses from ther. if it did, i could perhaps put the HD onto a USB enclosure and load up the registry remotely and get some drivers installed. but would still need to know which ones.
