Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Help installing XP on new Lenovo Y510 Ideapad

PopeyeKahn · 02-25-2008, 08:27 AM

I just bought a Lenovo Y510 Ideapad and love it. However, I don't love Vista and want to install XP. Of course, XP demands that SATA or SCSI drivers be installed from floppy at the beginning of the setup process.

It looks like the driver I need is for Microsoft iSCSI device, (I went into "Devices" and found it under "System Devices".)

When I downloaded the driver, it is in a self-extracting .exe which I don't know how to manipulate.

Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? I very much want Vista off this machine. It's fast but I know that it would fly with XP and I just hate Vista. Always have.

Thanks to anyone who can help or at least tries.
