Got to HP's site look up your model and see if they have any XP driver support for the DV6000.


Use killdisk to erase both paritions.

Then buy a copy of XP OEM from newegg and install it on your pc.

Why not try the Classic UI or install XP alongside Vista for a dual boot scenario.

It's not going to be a simple procedure - too many scenarios will come into play as you go along step by step.
