I am unclear on what you have now?
Did you try and fail on the windows 2000 install, or not bother?
What is the exact error message?
Is it on a blue screen or black screen

I attempted to install Windows 2000 Pro, it installed but does not work properly because it does not have the correct drivers. I would like to go back to Windows XP but since HP keeps sending the wrong system restore discs, that has not been possible. The erroe message is on a blue screen. It does not stay up very long but says something like unmountable boot drive. Every disc I receive from HP that is supposedly the correct discs say Wrong Model Notebook. I have tried going to HP website and downloading drivers but these do not fix the problem either. Let me clear up the fact that the notebook will now boot up with Windows 2000 Pro installed, not getting that message any longer it just will not run properly. Distorted Screen, No internet capabilities, it says it can not find ethernet card, Multi media card. I do not know the brand of these things in the laptop so I do nto know wher to go to obtain the correct drivers. Thanks for any help you can provide.

OK, so you have a dual boot system at the moment?
within windows 2000,
start > run
cmd
enter
type
chkdsk /r
at the command prompt and hit
enter
Say yes to checking disk at next boot up, reboot.
Let it do its thing, then let it start normally, choosing xp
what now?
