    I want to install Windows XP Home SP3 on my laptop...and if possible even make a own Windows XP SP3 CD/DVD with all drivers included... :cool:


    What I have is: :eek:

    » Windowx XP SP2 (HP) OEM CD (no need for serial or activation) :)
    » Windows XP Drivers CD/DVD :)
    » Windows XP Software CD/DVD :)
    (all original, from my old laptop...HP Pavilion ZV6243ea) :cool:
    » Windows Vista Home Premium Recovery DVD+R DL (8,5GB) :mad:


    What I don't have is: :confused:

    » Windows XP Drivers CD/DVD :mad:
    » Windows XP Software CD/DVD :mad:
    » Windows Vista Home CD/DVD :mad:
    » Windows Vista Home Drivers CD/DVD :mad:
    » Windows Vista Home Software CD/DVD :mad:


    My problem is to do a clean and good/working installation with Windows XP instead of Windows Vista Home Premium (pre-installed).


    Anyone have done a 100% working installation on: dv6540eo ???

    If you have, do you have all drivers and a full FAQ/Q&A how to install without any: YELLOW "Exclamation Point" ("!") :mad:
