    I did read in another thread someone was having the same problem, and the correct downgrade disks are on back order. I suggest calling Sony, and putting yourself on the wait list.

    Sponsi,

    You are correct !....I just called Sony and there is indeed an updated XP Downgrade Disk available.
    They are sending me one, so anyone else who runs into this problem, that's the answer.
