I recently purchased a Pavilon dv9723cl notebook that came with Vista. It works "okay". I had a couple of Windows XP service Pack 2 CD with licenses (not yet used) and attempted to downgrade to XP. I kept the revovery partition. I installed XP and now need about 12 drivers such as graphics, wireless and the NIC for one. HP doesn't have them. It has some XP drivers including the BIOS, whcih turns out is incompatible. Am I wasting my time and should I return to Vista?
