Get the make and model of all the hardware that may require drivers and try searching for them on www.driversguide.com

Also, just google like 'A215-S5837 Windows XP' to see what people are doing. I'm sure there are other people out there who have downgraded to XP, and they probably would be sharing where they got drivers, etc.

Basically, just get the Intel 965GM chipset driver and you should be set. Most likely, windows xp won't need any other drivers.

BTW.... your best bet is to search www.notebookreview.com in their forum.

ok still having great trouble finding the drivers. links plz?

Well.. if your laptop manufacture doesn't release any windows xp driver for your laptop model, most likely, there won't be any windows xp drivers.

That is a good way to go from my experience with my desktop and notebook.

Most likely your laptop has somewhat standard hardware that other manufacturers use too. That there is probably a XP driver out there for.
