I'm triying to find a way to download to XP. First of all, don't exist drivers for other operative systems, only exist Vista Drivers. Moreover, I have tried to start the installation process with:<BR /><BR />- knoppix 5.0 / knoppix 5.1<BR />- Windows XP SP2<BR />- Windows 2003 Server<BR /><BR />In all cases I have found problems and I haven't found the way to remove Vista of my Vaio. I need help also x'D<BR /><BR />What is your model?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 08 Jul 2007 17:11:50 GMT https://community.sony.bg/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-install-xp-after-vista/m-p/143654#M32599 jesnche 2007-07-08T17:11:50Z How to install XP after vista?? https://community.sony.bg/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-install-xp-after-vista/m-p/143656#M32600 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I'm about to try to install XP pro on my VGN- FZ21S.</P><P>I'll let you know</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:49:57 GMT https://community.sony.bg/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-install-xp-after-vista/m-p/143656#M32600 wrighlly 2011-12-08T18:49:57Z How to install XP after vista?? https://community.sony.bg/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-install-xp-after-vista/m-p/143658#M32601 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">As you have a SATA hard drive, you will not be able to install XP simply as the XP installation disc does not contain the necessary SATA Drivers.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">You will have to EITHER: -</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">Install the SATA drivers when you see the 'Welcome to Setup' screen by tapping F6 and loading the driver from a USB floppy disc drive</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">OR</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">Make a slipstreamed installation disc which contains the SATA Drivers using something like nLite: -</SPAN></P><P><A class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html">http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html</A></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;"><BR /></SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">For background, Google for 'Installing XP on a SATA Hard Drive'.</SPAN></P><P></P><P><img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.bg/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 08 Dec 2011 19:09:19 GMT https://community.sony.bg/t5/pcs-accessories/how-to-install-xp-after-vista/m-p/143658#M32601 Blencogo 2011-12-08T19:09:19Z
