Well, you got yourself into a pickle. The only thing to do is go to each of the individual device mfg. web sites and attempt to find XP drivers. They are probably available but not in one or two neat package.

Here is the Acer download site and as you already know XP is not supported.

An alternative is to install WIN7 which does have the drivers available. Of course you'd have to buy Win7 Professional.

Just bought a couple of HP 8100 Elite desktops. How can I downgrade them to Windows XP pro ?

You would have to buy yourself a copy of XP pro and do an OS reinstall. The XP pro should come with a COF key. When you do that you will need to install all the drivers for your computer. Check at the manufacturers website and download all the drivers for your PC that work with windows XP. Do this first then do the OS install.

Acer Aspire 4315

Yes you will get all the drivers here
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_4315.html
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.

It is possible to downgrade my OS vista to XP

First and foremost before you do, you need to check to see if drivers are available for your computer for windows xp. Or, if you are more adventurous, find the .inf files that go with your current drivers, find the hardware ID"s in them and then install drivers either directly from manufacturer of component, or download XP drivers from other models with same hardware ID's. It is possible, just make sure you do your research for the drivers first.

A quick search indicates that it has been done, but the HD audio is a bit tricky. Good luck!

Oh, and one more thing, please take a moment to rate this solution with a fixya rating. Thanks! :c)
