    Yes, you can surely install WinXP Prof. Take a look at your configuration and try looking at the HP Support Website for WinXP drivers. You could backup the SWSetup folder (if it exists) on your hard drive so that reverting back to Vista does not throw up driver issues. Burn the recovery CDs if you have not received them or burnt them already. If possible, try retaining the Recovery partition on your hard drive (again... if it exists). You might appreciate this way of getting back to Win Vista (wonder if you'd ever want to!) at a later time :)
