    Hi all

    I have a sony vgn-nr185e which came pre installed with vista :mad: . Want to "UPGRADE" to xp :p
    I wanted to know if there is a driver pack that i can get from somewhere and also what all do i need to keep in mind before, during and after the install.

    If there is an existing thread on this will someone be kind and guide me to it as i cant find a search function.

    Thanks.

    I hope that works, swarmer, but I thought the search function now was only available to folks with 6-700 posts, or thereabouts.


    Edit: Maybe something here will help you, Karan.
