Asking the Linux list if you can run windows on a notebook, tsk tsk :-)


Technically the major differences between XP Home and XP Pro are how
it handles domains and some other networking stuff, etc. From a
standpoint of drivers,  both Pro and Home should be able to use the
same drivers, so provided you've got a XP Pro CD/License, you should
be able to go ahead so long as the drivers are somewhere you can
actually download them (like HP's website).
