Hi,
I will give it a stab, but I
warn you I have never done one of these models.
The first thing to do is
Backup All your personal Data you wish to keep.
Then make sure you have made a
Recovery CD of your
Vista OS. You can use it to
revert back to
Vista incase we do not get this running on
XP
Now, you will need to
slipstream (using Nlite) the
XP CD,
SP2 (If you do not have an XP SP2) and the
Nvidia Drivers
Nlite:
http://www.nliteos.com/
Follow this procedure to make your XP install CD:

You will need an
XP SP2 CD (Recommended)
SP2 (if you need it):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Nvidia Drivers:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_15.24.html
Extract this file to a folder. Use NLite to integrate the drivers from the extracted NVIDIA installer. Integrate all the drivers per folder by using the “Multiple Folder” option. Then select the folder. Integrate each folder but do NOT include the FLOPPY driver.
These are additional drivers you may need after you have XP installed Or you may wish to integrate them to your XP cd.
MS UAA Driver:

Must be installed before the Audio Driver
Realtek HD Audio:
http://www.mediafire.com/?f6yzz0t574j
Once this is done set your
PC to boot from
CD. Insert the
CD and boot the
PC.
With any luck
XP will install with no problems.
Install the
UAA driver and the
Realtek driver
Check your
Device Manager for any errors you may have.
Post any
errors you find.
Good luck,
Bill
