Vista Home premium onto MK1 CF19

Hi there, I have a cf19 (CF19FHGAFBE) in the UK and assume its a MK1 as it has XP Pro on it.

Im thinking of dual booting with that ( I need XP Pro for work apps that dont like Vista) and Vista Home Premium.

The dual booting set up shouldnt be too hard from what I gather.

Upon searching this forum I find links to drivers for Vista but they list them as suitable for Vista Business.

Are there any drivers (sound, touchscreen, Video, HSDPA modem, Wirelass Lan, Loupe etc) for Vista Home available, if so, where?

Thanks, Steve

 

I believe drivers for Vista Business will also work the same on Vista Home Premium.

 

You have a MK2 CF-19 so make sure that get the drivers for a MK2.

They do no make drivers for Vista Home but the Vista Business drivers should work without a problem.

CF-19C, CF-19D are MK1

CF-19F, CF-19H are MK2

Thanks James,

Will go look for the drivers now!

You should be able to get the drivers here:

Thanks for your help, apart from a little hiccup of ordering a 3.5 inch drive by mistake (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) its all up and running.

Cant get the Tablet Buttons working on either of the OS's though.

Have seen other threads about this and re-installed the drivers on XP and it then works for a few boot ups but then stops for no reason.

Cant get them working on Vista at all.

I do notice that XP has a HotKey Plus driver and Vista uses something different.

Can anyone give any advice?
