How to change os in my presario V6211AU from vista home to xp professional?

I have the exact same laptop..... so here goes.....



It comes with Vista Home Basic which has veryyyyyyyy limited functionality. This was one reason (besides the slow speed) why i switched to WinXP SP2 Professional



NOTE: The drivers of VISTA won't run on XP.

Also, on HP's site, u won't get drivers for XP of this laptop.

So you can download compatiable drivers of other laptops.

easy, just buy a copy of XP pro and install. Back up all your data before hand though.
