How can i install windows Xp on hp pavilion dv 2601

Answers :

Assuming this came with Vista pre installed, you will need to purchase a copy of XP and my advice is to keep Vista and then instal XP on a different partition on your hard drive, assuming you have 2 partitions, if not then you will need some softwsre like psrtition magic or use the XP cd to set up a new partition.

My Dell OptiPlex GX 520 has frozen. It runs Windows XP. Here in the UK, we have had a cold snap in what the papers are calling "The Coldest Day". Dunno if that's got anything to do with it. Anyway, I came down in the morning and the screen was off as if it had gone into sleep mode, but shaking the mouse or tapping the keyboard did not work. So, I tried turning it off and on again. The bootup screen came on, and the bar filled nearly up to the top, but then froze there. I left it for five minutes
