Just a small note,,,,It's always best to do a clean install of XP BUT because you
are putting it on a HP Laptop and most of the hardware is very proprietary, it's
true XP will come with some of the drivers you will need to get the older laptop
up and running it will NOT have all of them.
The backup you will have them on it but it will take you weeks to find all of them....and
get them back in place the right way...
So what I'm saying get a driver disk b/4 you try and install the new OS....
here's a link to get one at the right price.
