    HI,

    I'm tempted to buy a Sony Vaio FZ290 but i need XP for my College aplications that do not have Vista support.

    Can i istall XP using this drivers?

    ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/pub/OS/XPDOWNGRADE/FZ19/

    From the looks of it, only the graphic card should be missing there and possibily bluetooth...

    Thanks!

    Use the serch box at the VERY TOP of the screen here (note this is NOT one of the two drop down search options on the page) and search for "FZ XP". You'll find some dicsussions on this already.
