window vista replacing

Hi,

I have a FE41Z wich came with Vista (Home smth...) and i wanted to switch to XP SP2. I have formatted the HDD and installed XP but non of the vista drivers that came on the laptop orginally works with XP and i couldn/t find XP drivers for my model. What should i do to get my laptop working on the XP?

Thanks!

 

Go here and see if there are XP drivers for your laptop. Download them on another system and burn them to a CD and install them on your laptop from the CD.

Since you are in the UK here are some links that may be useful.

Since there seem to only be drivers for Vista availible for your laptop you may have to find a model that is close and use the drivers for it.

 

i can' find the drivers or anything close to mine; i really don't know what to do because i don't like the vista os and i can't get the windows xp installed completely due to driver errors which are made only for vista

 

You need to visit the Sony UK website.

However, there are no XP drivers listed for your model. Since it was designed to use Vista, it appears Sony UK doesn't feel the need to provide any XP drivers. You need to contact Sony UK Vaio support.

 

The drivers from the FE31Z should work for the most part, with near-identical hardware to the 41Z, just with the superior XP OS!

In particular the last post should help. You can get all the FE31Z drivers here:
