I have double clicked the setup file from recovery disc XP_downgrade folder and then logged onto Vaio-link.com for all the other XP drivers for this model using the Sony XP assistant, I think there are 31 modules but it is taking ages , I have my ethernet cable conected to my virgin broadband and is still so slow. The download speed is varying between 48/15kbs!!<BR /><BR />Also I had to re-do the XP install as the first time you do it after Vista you cannot change the partitions and I had already loaded the additional drivers, but when I did the second time to partion the drives I must have lost all my drivers hence I am having to download them again but this time I have chose option C to download and write them to a CD hence I will have a hard copy of them !<BR /><BR />Has anyone had bad experiences or any hints on getting this done quicker?<BR /><BR />Help much appreciated plus with the search facility being removed from this site its hard to locate any useful info.<BR /><BR />thanks in advance.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 09 Feb 2009 20:09:42 GMT shak008 2009-02-09T20:09:42Z XP Downgrade SR19XN https://community.sony.sk/t5/pcs-accessories/xp-downgrade-sr19xn/m-p/155267#M55978 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.sk/html/@13A2E6A3774A8B47B4EC6F04089539E1/images/smilies/063.png" alt=":thinking:" title=":thinking:" /> <BR /><BR /> I have just got a SR19XN and decided to downgrade to XP and followed the instructions from the XP downgrade CD.
