First of all i wouldn't do anything with XP other than a clean install.
So if you want to do this i would suggest that you first re-format the
hard drive of course saving your files that you need before you do
that..as afar as the drivers..unless someone has had a direct exprience
with a certain piece of hardware...you really don't know how the
hardware will react with XP & if the drivers are there...would suggest
that you download all of your hardware drivers which you will either
find on your hardware manufacturer's website or go to
www.microsoft.com/support/Xp...Good luck
