    It appears this laptop has no XP support, it's all Vista. However, if you could figure out the brands and types of hardware that are in the system, there is a strong possibility older XP drivers written for other laptops could be made to work with them. I wouldn't give up on it.

    If push came to shove, you could also download VirtualPC for free and install XP on that and most of the hardware would be virtualized from your actual Vista configuration. Just a suggestion if you only want to have XP in addition to Vista, as opposed to doing a complete downgrade because you agree that Vista isn't that great.

    OP: Please do your homework before posting. :)

    In the ASUS Info Booth (my sig) you will find a link towards an XP downgrade guide for the F8S.
