    Hi.

    I've just bought an HP Pavillion 6000, with Windows Vista Home Premium and Office 2007. Since this notebook will be used by an spanish, I need everything to be in that language. I'ts impossible to translate Vista Home Premium, because It won't support any MUI language pack (only Ultimate version does). Then, I must change the operating system.

    Here comes my doubts.

    1) Which Windows would you reccomend me for my laptop? XP or Vista Ultimate?

    I really don't have a clue of how should I do this operating system change... Is there any tutorial?

    Having to format a new computer makes me kind of afraid of upcoming drivers and hardware problems...

    2) Right now, I have the Vista Home Premium and everything works perfect. Is there any way to ''save'' all the drivers installed? I've heard about ''recovery discs''. What that?

    3) Although I probably won't use it, I'd like to conserve the lisence for the Windows Vista Home Premium that comes with the notebook. Is just taking note of the activation key enough?

    Thanks a lot! And sorry for my english...
