re: downgrade to 2000 Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 2:56 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6528 messages posted) The question is whether a 9 year old operating system will have the drivers for new hardware. Chances are very good that it doesn't. You have a SATA IDE as well as an unsupported buss sysetm for W2K. Laptops are so proprietary that unless the manufacturer makes drivers to support the operating system you want to install, you might as well forget it. Laptops are worse than desktops when it comes to Windows supporting them. You can try, but IME, it won't be succesful.
