But being it's a 'business class' vs a home class may be the reason. The hp site for home editions have adimately denied anyone is recieving XP discs as a downgrade & will void the warranty if it is done - by them or by home user.
Now maybe the business side is different, even though you bought it for home use, it's classified a business class. But like I said I will give it a try on Monday when they open again, but not expecting anything.
