Hi, I have a Dell XPS 420 shipped with Vista Home Premium as the OS. I would like to downgrade to XP PRO. I understand if I do this Dell will not support the XP OS. Are these all the drivers/fixes etc. needed to make this a fairly seamless transition?  Please give any advice you might have.

Thank you very much, Big Hall
