Windows 8.1 crazy enough has different hardware requirements than Windows 8. This has not been recieved well as it has left many people stranded on window 8 without being able to update to 8.1. here are the following requirements for Win 8 for both 32 & 64bit versions. Just remember if your machine does meet these it may not meet requirements of 8.1 so I would suggest you look up the requirements for 8,1 before you do anything. Processor 1 GHz Memory (RAM) 1GB 2GB Graphics Card DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver HDD free space 16GB 20GB

SOURCE: Installation of Windows XP Pro on Hp Pavilion laptop

what is the error message that you're getting.. usually windows vista will not downgrade your operating system to windows xp. You may need to remove vista before you can load xp.
make sure to save a back up of all of your important files before you do that.

SOURCE: how can I install Winxp on HP pavilion DV5 laptop ?

You're Hard Drive may be dead. If XP is starting to install and then it goes to the Blue Screen of Death, that's most likely your problem. There's a slight chance that you're power inverter has a fluctuating power level that is causing a disruption, but that's very unlikely. Have you done any tests with any boot CD's to check the hard drive's function?

Obviously, the most convenient way to downgrade is to do so without reformatting. In order to do that, you need to have a real retail CD of Windows XP. If all you have is a recovery disk that came with your computer, you’re not going to be able to do it this way. You will need to reformat.
To downgrade, use the following as a guide:

  1. Do a full backup of your current, Vista system. If something happens, you can always revert to the backup.
  2. Boot your computer off the Windows XP disc. Just pop the CD into the CD-ROM and reboot. If, for some reason, your computer boots without looking for the CD drive, you need to go into your system BIOS and change the boot order so that it checks for the CD drive during the boot process.
  3. When the computer asks to press the space bar to boot from the CD, do so.
  4. When Windows XP Setup starts up, press “R” to enter the recovery.
  5. If it asks you to choose a Windows installation, press a number and hit Enter. The likely number will be 1.
  6. If you get asked for an Administrator password, enter when asked. If you do not know it, you will need to abort and go back into Windows Vista to get your password.
  7. At the command prompt, we’re going to use the “fixboot” command. We’ll use the following commands in sequence to prep for XP:
  8. fixboot
    fixmbr
    cd \
    ren windows winvista
    exit

I have a HP DV6000 laptop. it came with windows XP media. I upgraded to windows 7 ulti. now the web cam dont work anyone know why?

Hi,
There is most likely an incompatibility issue with windows 7. Have you tried reloading your XP webcam driver?
H.P. currently has no drivers available for your Pavilion for windows 7. Keep referring back to www.hp.com to check as they are working on developing drivers for models which meet the minimum hardware requirements.
Best wishes,

IE 7

Yes you can upgrade your Internet Explorer to IE7 (assuming you have IE6 right now)

You can download and install IE7 from Windows updates or go to the Windows Support Site to download it at http://support.microsoft.com

Only upgrade to IE7. Do not download and install IE8 Beta. It is still in testing. IE7 will not cause any problem with your HP Pavilion.
