thanks crahak
i was just wondering because i had a HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop that came with vista ultimate and i tried back in december to downgrade it to xp pro.. but couldnt find the drivers.
so i tried again today and with no problem i found a laptop labeled CTO that was the same model etc. with xp drivers that i needed so i downloaded them and worked like a charm

so basically they started making or did for awhile make the same model laptops with xp? because the only place i could find the drivers were the DV9000 CTO Xp drivers

thanks again crahak
