HP DV6648SE - Replace Vista with XP - Has anyone done it yet?
I recently purchased a HP DV6648SE laptop from Bestbuy.
I was wondering if anyone has successfully removed Vista and installed XP Pro and have everything working fine. I tried but it is not recognizing the hard drive at the start of the XP installation process. If anyone knows a fix for that then I can continue on trying to get Windows XP Pro installed successfully.

Hi,
A number of people have done that ! Are you sure you want to remove Vista completely ? Think about cloning the Vista partition first - HERE (preliminary boot hack). or maybe dual booting could be an option - HERE (you may need a Vista DVD) If your determined to replace Vista,you`ll need an DOS boot disk and XP CD - HERE That`s assuming you don`t have a Vista DVD,of course Last edited by Po`Girl; 10-15-2007 at 04:40 PM.
