Notebook with DOS: cleaning from Vista drivers and install..

Got Asus notebook X51RL with DOS OS. Unfortunately, this notebook has Vista
drivers installed, not for Windows XP.
I want install Windows XP. Which exactly drivers I need? Should I reformat
harddrive, before installing drivers, or I can deinstall Vista drivers?
There is very weak support from notebook manufacturer side. Instead of
starting working immediatally, I need spend time and effort s for searching
drivers, etc, etc
Vista is useless for me, bad micro$oft software & bad approach.

Thanks

You don't have DOS for an OS, that's for sure. You need to contact the
manufacturer to see if there are drivers for the specific hardware on
the laptop BEFORE doing anything else. Also check to see if using a
different OS will void your warranty. If so, you could create an image
of your current drive on an external drive and keep it safe in case you
need warranty work done.

The laptop should function properly. If not, why waste your time and
money? Take the time and let the manufacturer get it right. You paid
for it to work correctly.
