    Hi,

    I know this topic is covered a lot, but I can't find any specific to this model, and I need to be sure.

    I've got a genuine copy of XP Pro SP2 and I want to install it. I've seen that it is a bit of a hassel to do this on some of the vaios so I'm looking for a quick and painless way of getting XP to work. I don't really need to get rid of vista, I just want to use XP as my OS. Can I just install XP along side Vista and install the drivers from the Vista folder when needed? Any help would be hugely appreciated.

    Cheers,
    Malcolm
