After you installed the operating system, did you also install the
drivers? It sounds like you forget this vital step. Go to the laptop
mftr.'s website for that particular model laptop. Download drivers and
laptop-specific software for XP and install it.

Since you didn't tell me what model HP laptop your friend has, I can't
check for you. I suggest that you look again or have your friend call HP
tech support.

If there are no drivers for XP, then your friend is out of luck and will
need to put Vista back on the machine. He should check with HP tech
support first and, if Vista is unworkable for him and he cannot install
XP, return the laptop.

Your post is extremely difficult to read. Using chatspeak is not
recommended in a newsgroup. Bottom line, yes - I think you should not
have messed about with your friend's laptop and now he should take it
back to the shop and have it fixed. I leave you with the thought that if
it costs your friend anything, you should consider paying for it.
