    Hello, i was just given a hp 530 as a Christmas present. It came with vista home basic and i would like to downgrade to xp pro. I'm a complete noob when it comes to laptops and I was wondering if all i had to do was to download the drivers from the hp site, pop in the cd and begin the installation. Also do i have to install all the drivers http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3375995&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3375953&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093 http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...sId=3375953&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093
    or there some I don't need (bloatware) , does the order matter?
    Thanks in advance!!
