  You will need the drivers from Lenovo. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-67853.html
  
  The easiest way is to procure an XP boot disc and recovery disc from the support center or a shop selling Lenovo computers. From there on, it's just a matter of inserting one disc after another.

  streamie please dont uninstall it it's a Vista Ultimate I dont think it's really worth downgrading from vista to xp.
  
  Ultimate is worth every cent

  Although I'm against Vista, Ultimate is the best version of Vista. A lot can be done with it as there aren't as much restrictions as the other versions.
  
  One important question to consider when downgrading:
  
  Do you have problems using it?
  
  I noticed you mentioned that it will be for use in university. Are they using VPN? Is the VPN supported by Vista? Or rather, does the school support Vista?
  
  There are certain things which schools do and we can't tweak. If the school supports Vista, most likely they will have support for Vista as well and we can't go about downgrading lest it goes against certain policies.
  
  You have to check that out. If you still want an XP, I would recommend dual booting, that means having two operating systems (XP and Vista) on the same hard disk.

  yep, it's difficult to get a system that comes preinstalled with vista ultimate. you norm see is home basic, and premium, followed by business.
  
  Vista is All of them together. The best of the vistas, but also the laggiest of the vistas
  but i think your system is able to support lucky u
