Windows 7 are the only drivers available, from the manufacturers
When Vista came about, and then Windows 7 the scripting changed, and it was difficult to downgrade to Xp, Unless the manufacturer made drivers available. If you have a spare hard drive, you could attempt it, with an XP disc, but I would then advise you to get hold of a drivers disc before you do. I keep discs that I can put onto the dvd rom, and it will find any uninstalled drivers, and most often it finds enough to get most things working, so that you can get on-line. The snags are often that any Lan and Wireless drivers are not available before going on-line, so you can get stuck. There are drivers about, but it can take some hunting down.
