XP for laptop

[Guest]

I have a Sony Vaio laptop with Win NT Server installed on it. I would like to
change this to XP home edition. My question is, if I simply buy and install
XP, will the laptop utilites (e.g. battery/power management, etc) still be
available or will these need to be re-installed/downloaded from somewhere?

Sony Vaio NB -- You have my sympathies !

Go to the Sony support wen site and download all pertinent WinXP software and drivers
associated with the model you have.

Wipe the NB and install WinXP HE and install SP2 ASAP.

lot. Will check out the Sony site. thx again.
