    I just purchased this laptop and I am looking to install XP on it. I already have a copy of XP, and I have a few of the drivers (SATA, Video, Wireless). Does anyone know where I can get the drivers and software to do this? Or better yet, is there a guide somewhere on how to do this?

    I apologize if this has been asked before.

    Thanks.

    In the InfoBooth sticky at the top of the forum.

    Here's the link. Should work for all G50 series models.....

    I think Windows XP is an upgrade, not a downgrade. You might want to slipstream the Sata drivers onto an XP CD along with integrated Service pack 2 or 3 as well.
