Re: Help - how to downgrade this laptop to WinXP?
Just make sure you have located all the drivers for your laptop/OS combination before jumping the gun.

In the very least, the OP should at least have a copy if his/her wireless or wired NIC drivers just in case. There's always that slim chance of possibility in my experience. From there, THEN it should be able to pick up the rest of the drivers through the driver cache or windows update and if XP then can't find them, can grab them online manually.

I have an HP DV9260US laptop and XP SP2 or even SP3 does not have all the drivers for it. Here is the HP driver site for the OP's laptop and the XP drivers are sparse.
