An option to consider-put your original Vista hdd away and install new one for XP.
3. Some of the notebook features may not work in XP due to uncertified licenses pointed in this guide.
4. Microsoft has released three (3) Service Packs for XP, use only SP2 for the first trial. Why? Since many of XP drivers are released based on XP-SP2.
