    Hello everyone,

    I just recieved an ASUS f3SV for Christmas today and I have to say- It is stunningly gorgeous compared to my old HP here. I'm very proud of it. Anyways... I have one beef with this laptop here... ITS VISTA...it only has 1 gb of ram... which is a slight problem... But I would like to be able to have one of my hard drives have say, 100gb for XP and gaming purposes (I am a very avid gamer)... and have about 60gb on the other hard drive for vista, That side would be my business and work/internet side.. Any suggestions? I have tried to revert the WHOLE thing back to XP from Vista with only having an XP disc and I can say from my experience that that does not work. Asus doesnt make SATA XP drivers for our laptops for some reason ( the F3 Series) Any help or advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! I love this laptop alot- it would be great if I could get it to work the way I want it to.

    Thanks,
    Aubrey

    See if you can change the mode from Sata in the bios if you having trouble installing.

    My advice ring up thier support line i'm sure they can help you with an XP driver.
