Understanding the Risks of  Vista .

 

 

A300 / A305

Here is the guide for the the A300/A305 series.  This is the esiest way to get rid of vista. Once you download the guide

cross compare your model with the Everest Report (PSAG0U)  by reading the instructions, remember this guide uses

the slipstream method  with the most common SATA driver for the Series and the most dificult driver to run under XP

which is the Realtek HD sound controller.

A300 / A305 / X200 models:

if your A300 / A305 / X200  comes with a 960 or 965 / GM965 (X3100 video) / PM965 chipset their sata driver is 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8-M)

it will also use a REALTEK high definiton audio controller therefore you should not experience problems downgrading with the

procedure described in the guide.

 

X200 PSPBUC  (Intel PM965 / ALC268)  apply the same steps in the pdf.

 

X200  XP NVIDIA driver   modded inf   when video driver fails apply after downgrading to XP by replacing the modded inf file. read more (post #2)

 

keep in mind some models need more tweaking than the PSAG0U .

 

Determine your Sata driver

Determine your Soundcard model
