    find out how to install your software on vista, it's more easy.

    Hello Oscarb80,
    did you solve your problem with downgrading your dv-1275mx?
    could you please let me know where did you find the SATA driver for getting through installation of XP? And where did you get other drivers for XP?
    thank you very much.
    I also found one interesting forum where one man got through this process. There are also few links for another drivers that might help you.

    any driver that you don't know what it is, just highlight it in the device manager and in it's properties, look at it's details, and in the "property" window select "hardware ids" or "device ids" then take the smallest value of those listed in the "value" window and copy and paste ctrl C - ctrl V into google and this will usually take you where you need to go. You will want to take out any usb or pci prefix, and just use the first 2 values. Don't forget to put any important information into the search, like start with (for example)

    Original Hardware ID information
    Google search
