Welcome to ClubVAIO

You need a floppy drive and the SATA drivers from the Intel website to be able to install XP on your machine.

May i ask for what reason you are downgrading?

[nictudin]

I can use the vista driver or I must download the files from somewhere?

[nictudin]

I must use the notebook with avid software that has problem with vista and the video driver too.

Read this thread for full instructions - just substitute AR41 for AR31!
