You can install XP over Vista if you want. You should be able to get the drivers as well. I believe the instructions for this (if you need them) can be found at HP (Compaq).

Be very certain this is what you want to do before you start. Are you having trouble with your present configuration? It may be easier to fix your trouble than change your OS.

You may want to go to www.pcpitstop.com and have your computer scanned for problems before you start. This is a free service. If you go ahead with the install, go back to PC Pitstop and have it scanned.

you can download the drivers for your notebook from the website www.driverpool.com you have select your notebook model you will also have the option of selecting the os too(windows XP).

google sata drivers, abut this is not all you are going to have to do.

You might first check to see if ide is active in the bios.

You need to download the equivalent XP drivers for your HP Pavillion.

Here you go:

Hope this helps.

Yes you will get all the drivers here

However only Vista Premium and Vista Ultimate users can perform a direct downgrade. You can start a fresh installation from a bootable disk of WinXP. Be aware that this will replace the Vista with XP.

Yes do not downgrade or you Will have problems. Microsoft is planning to stop support for xp in the future and already have a new OS-7 coming out to replace vista. A lot of software that does not say it is for xp will work on vista. Just because it does not say for vista does not mean it will not work on vista. Good Luck. I love Xp too but I will not downgrade to go back because microsoft is only going to make it obsolete in the future.
please rate my thank You.

Download the drivers from toshiba website

unfortantly because you have downgraded from the most advaned microsoft program there is, you dont have all the fetures that vista has.
in order to get the features back, you need to reinstall vista again.
